(Long Past) Time for Fast Nuclear Reactors

link

   One way we know that the left isn't serious about climate change is that they're not calling for nuclear. Breeder reactors radically mitigate the waste problem. I take it that the main concern with Fast Neutron Reactors (FNRs) is that they produce plutonium, and that makes it easier to produce nuclear weapons. Everything's a tradeoff. The idea that we can gain a benefit without incurring a cost is a fantasy. And the plutonium worry is not that serious, IMO. 

   At any rate, climate apocalypticism is actually a way to push for longstanding leftist desiderata like socialism, increased power for world government, decreased consumerism, etc. It's easy to see that something's up when the consequences of climate hysteria are given selective attention and promoted selectively. Wind and solar--weak "solutions," but beloved of the left: good! Nuclear--strong solution, but hated by the left: bad! And so on.
