Glad to hear nuclear is more on the table than ever. Glad you wen t and could give us a report from your perspective.

But I keep remembering "A camel is a horse put together by a committee."

Well Al Camels are also known as the ships of the desert and navigate sandy terrains not suitable for a horse. Not denying the negotiations are troubled, but don’t shoot the camel until you have something better.

There is literally no world in which trillions will be allocated for climate. Voters around the world are rejecting it thoroughly election by election due to the costs already evident in net zero 2050 and the complete inability to even come close to the targets. The US likely won’t be a part of this by next year anyway. COP is dead. Long live COP.

The world needs to accelerate nuclear and prioritize natural gas as much as possible over coal in the interim. Advancing technology to make nuclear 10x cheaper over the next 30 years is the only way forward if society wants to improve the climate.

Agreed. There isn't enough money in the world to get to 'net zero', even if it was a worthwhile goal.
