We really wanna get off of fossil fuels as quickly as possible? Not gonna happen with renewables alone. Not much choice but to ramp up nuclear fission and then get rid of those nasty things and replace them with nuclear fusion reactors ASAP.

Wind turbines and solar panels are fine as far as they can go...but THIS makes me hopeful and optimistic. I'll have to look into this some more and see what kind of progress they've made lately since that article is 2 years old.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
