The natural state of Blackhawk helicopters is to crash.

No the scale of our electrical needs is easily met with nuclear. We just can't let capitalism run them.

Also op was talking about recently built reactors and new ones planned, China has built the most recently and has planned the most in the future. Why does everyone want to ignore the literal billions of dollars oil and gas has spent to spoil people's opinions on nuclear energy to the point that you just can't fathom building hundreds of plants around the globe.

Edit: what mechanisms exist in society that will allow us, the working class to change things to the point that we don't require as much energy in the future? Capitalism only knows consumption, and they're in charge. They own the oil and gas and they own the politicians that legislate. The future is the poor getting priced out of energy and dying, it's not a utopia of reduced emissions ushered in by shell, ExxonMobil and Halliburton continuing record profits.

The hysteria was literally funded by oil and gas. It still is. Society is steered by money and the politicians that they own.

What in your mind is the way we get people to stop drilling, stop using cars and just outright curb fossil fuel use? What mechanisms in society exist for us to do this, specifically?

Edited grammar 2nd edit. Also globally there have been dozens of new plants built and dozens more planned.china has built 53 and has 24 more planned. Seems like good planning.

Evil oil companies fund them to propagate anti nuclear propaganda. Are you aware that the two largest nuclear accidents have less dead people in these instances than 6 months of fossil fuel production every year?

Evil corporations are why we haven't moved to a nuclear grid 50 years ago. I need to heat my house, there's snow outside and the method of generating that heat is decided by the people who own the resource extraction process and the refining. They also own the politicians who make legislation. You're suggesting we "simply" redefine society from the ground up while holding no power to do so.

Do all you want to help, and some corporation will still dump 1000 lifetimes of pollution into the environment in one day. This is a problem that individuals have no control over.
