    I agree that we should build more durable technology and reduce income inequality, but we need to fight the laws of physics first. Debate is a luxury granted by a stable civilization, which largely depends on a stable climate.

      We’ll eventually figure out nuclear fusion even in a post apocalyptic nuclear fallout world.

        Investing in nuclear power also means allowing engineers to improve the technology. There are plenty of reactor designs (mostly on paper) that can safely shut down without human intervention, which would make them much less of a liability in a warzone.

        Let’s save downvotes for comments that don’t contribute (like zer0’s first few).

        While I still disagree with his later stuff, it’s certainly more productive of a conversation.

        I realize downvote != disagree is a fight we can never win, but it’s still worth trying.
