Climate Policy

[--Pete]

Hi,

I still think we can do more than one thing at a time, though.

One would hope so, though even doing one thing sometimes seems politically and/or fiscally impossible.

We should spend effort *now* to begin building enough nuclear plants to replace all our current electricity generation, . . .

That is an example of forcing a single solution. Hydro is viable, represents a fair percent of present generation capability, and is environmentally neutral. No need to replace it until the facilities become obsolete. Incorporating other sources (solar, wind, tide and wave, geothermal, etc.) spreads the load. There are many solutions, few of them that would work alone, but in combination they can be better than any one of them.
