New reactor designs in development avoid the need for a pressure vessel and thus most of the risk of off-site discharge of radioactive materials such as what happened at Chernobyl and Fukushima, or even the trivial emissions from Three Mile Island. Perhaps demonstrating safer operation will change the Germans' minds.

They use the “all or nothing” like a crutch.
Changing from coal to natural gas as fuel for thermal power electric plants cuts CO2 emissions by about 50%.
You ignore the principle of futility because you have to believe there’s an answer to the question “something must done”. You think with your heart and not your brain. News flash: world doesn’t care about your feelings.
The us is (joe manchin notwithstanding) already doing that. Guess the problem must be solved already. So what are we arguing about?
The brain has lots of solutions. Some hearts will not accept them.
The US still uses coal for about 20% of its electricity production, about on a par with nuclear and renewables.
Ah really close then. 20% and all done. Doesn’t seem too bad.
Preaching is supposed to be dad4s thing. And here you had me going it was a measly 20%. To what Jesus do we have to open our hearts to this time? I hear st fauci is still busy with covid, st gore is still chasing a man bear pig somewhere, and st kerry is flying his private jet somewhere.
If denial is all you have, you should probably stick with your strength.

Au contraire, you’re emotion is in the drivers seat.
I see you’ve taken dad4s bible and are thumping it.
Haha. Funny. But comedy is supposed to be espolas thing
It appears that you have run out of meaningful things to say.
At least you concede I have something meaningful to say. Others have pointed out to you that your “links?” “Coocoos” and general trolling is less than useful and you don’t really have any meaningful contributions. So there’s that.
Nothing I have posted today is meaningful? Is that your position? Just more denial?
And here I thought you were going to actually talk policy instead of just tossing insults. Silly me.
We were actually getting somewhere back when we were talking about transmission, electric cars, wind, solar, and nuclear. Those five alone are enough to drastically reduce generation and transmission emissions. The wind might not always blow, but you can build better transmission line and we can balance the grid by telling cars when to charge. You’re left with natural gas peaker plants, but very low base emissions.
Kind of shoots a big hole in your “nothing is possible“ argument…
I’m not the one that called you useless any more than I’m the one that invented “magoo”.
You, the king of the subtle insult, just love to play the victim, particularly when your own behavior is called into question. Again don’t tell me it’s an emergency if you are going ahead adestroying the planet yourself. And it’s not just the having children thing. You do club soccer with the extra driving involved which is bad for the environment, are all for Arizona tournaments and let’s not forget the blind eye you turned towards the damage masks are doing let alone your takeout containers. But everyone else you expect to sacrifice a little.
and again just like the let’s just mask and do internal dining, you don’t comprehend the size of the problem or the time factor. It’s not a static problem. It’s one that gets worse since everyone wants to be the us and live the us lifestyle. Just having a single family home for all those families would be ecologically ruinous let alone a dog and hamburgers for all of them. The problem is under the water and you are just concerned with the ice berg tip.
and I posted the video for why on why electric cars aren’t as much of a savings as you think. You are better off driving an existing beater into the ground than manufacturing a new Tesla.
I see. You want to say the words, but you want to preserve denial of owning the words.
