I think the idea that we have to bet everyone&#x27;s future on a <i>single</i> tech is extremely shortsighted. In fact, the bet on coal power plants is kind of what got us into this mess in the first place.<p>And the advancements in renewables look like they are doable, just not as fast as we&#x27;d like. More nuclear would be good, but limiting research and development to <i>just</i> fission or <i>only</i> solar is a false choice. As we&#x27;ve learned from applying developments in microchips to cutting wafers for photovoltaics, developments in one area of tech can often be used to <i>improve</i> other areas.
