Environment & Energy

So my cost construction cost numbers and construction times are off? I've been down this rabbit hole with you before. And got the same response from you. You haven't addressed the construction costs and operation costs of nuclear power. What will this cost and how will you pay for it? I'll note that you recognize public sentiment, but you're dismissive of it.

The Earth's CO2 levels (if you believe the Earth is 4-5 billion years old, and support plate tectonics "theory&quot have been much higher in the past than today. During the Carboniferous, CO2 was 1000+ ppb, there were ice age cycles and life was thriving. The fossil record shows quick changes in CO2 levels (on the geologic stage) have contributed to mass extinctions but life carries on.

The real danger in climate change is its potential impact on our financial system. The arguments have always pitted the fossil fuel industry against the insurance/financial industry. The notion that this is a big government power grab has been a mass distortion by the RW media forces. Our society relies on an operating financial system that could easily collapse under the impact of climate change; that's the true threat to our way of life, not rising CO2 levels themselves.

I'm hopeful that future generations will be able to adopt and address this issue. At some point fossil fuels will become too expensive to support our current system. Both on extraction costs and the increase in insurance rates and potential body blows to our banking system (due to catastrophic environmental event loses). Free from political interference, the market is our true correction method.
