I hope our species isn't beyond the point of no return. But the fossil full industry CEOs and shareholders are not going to give up without a fight. I could care less if a barrel of crude was a penny, it will cost far more to ignore the global warming burning fossil fuels in the future if we continue to ignore the damage it is causing.
You "know"?
Really...
Is your degree in mechanical engineering? You have a doctorate in thermodynamics?
How exactly did you come by this "knowledge"?
And tell us how you are going to harness the terrawatts of power we need for a medium sized US city.... Then tell us where the rest of the planet is going to get theirs.....
Your "knowledge" you are pontificating smells suspiciously like an ill formed opinion in my book.. I'm betting "just think happy thoughts" has a great deal to do with your "knowledge".
MSR's fit the bill. Good clean energy. Uses the stockpile of radioactive waste as fuel, doesn't have the risks of traditional nuclear reactors.
