      Storage technology isn’t there yet. Nuclear is. The only viable approach is “all of the above.” Anything less is foolishness and oil industry propaganda.

        50 yeas ago people couldn’t think of a future without fossile fuel. 100 years ago people thought ships would run on coal for eternity and 200 years ago or in fact up until WW2 horses did most of the work when it came to transportation.

        Things change fast. Stagnation of technology is not the norm.

          The same people who run the oil companies also run nuclear plants

          What? You keep saying this in this thread, where the hell are you getting it from?

              I mean, those are power companies. If you’re calling public power companies “the oil and gas billionaires” then you’re clearly being facetious.

              When people talk about the oil and gas billionaires they are referring to the ones who spend millions on lobbying, Exxon, Shell, BP, Aramco, etc. You know, the ones funding climate change denial and nuclear fearmongering for decades.
