And nuclear doesn’t solve all of these other problems. It solves power. We can’t and don’t have nuclear reactor capability for planes or cars. We need technology to come a long long long way.

Atomic energy would allow us to synthesis fuels and run DAC to counter the emissions. We really need a clean near limitless energy source to make all the other pieces work. Fusion would be ideal, but we can't wait for it.
