Great username you have :)<p>I disagree with your stance on nuclear - in the sense that nuclear is one way to partially replace coal&#x2F;oil, however a much better combination is solar + nuclear + energy efficiency in transportation + reduction of global footprint of manufactured goods (energy in industry).<p>How to reduce &quot;consumerism&quot;? Well, you need a revolution. Or, you need to tax sales heavily. Neither are easy.
