    Would it be better to dump billions into nuclear power plants that won’t come online for a decade at least, or to dump billions into renewables that can be online and reducing emissions in under a year?

      We should worldwide be putting trillions into both. Renewables should be first priority, but not all locations have good solar, wind, and battery options.

        That’s your opinion. I think funding nuclear is just burning money and wasting time we don’t have.

          That’s the exact argument people have been making for 60 years, and look where we are now. Around 80% of the world’s energy is still from fossil fuels. Do you want to continue making the same mistakes as the previous generations?
