Global warming: Are we doomed? A poll.

[Spongebob]

What I was talking about were the new nuclear reactors that not only don't pollute but actually reverse radioactive pollution by using nuclear waste and eating it until it disappears.

Now, Spongebob did say that many private companies are trying to develop some of that, and I am aware of that when I said that there should be an urgent International Manhattan-like project to develop these things soon as possible because governments have more money so they can develop it faster. Especially if we are talking about nuclear fusion. Now there is ITER which is international cooperation, but it is still slow and could go faster if it was taken more seriously.

This technology (thorium or breeder-reactors) exists today and a few research scale models have been built but I'm not sure if anyone is working on a commercial scale plant.  There are some obstacles but my understanding is that the technology is there.  For those who arrogantly say "where is it now?" the answer is commonly in the hands of politicians who are owned by, guess who, big oil companies.  Oil and coal companies have dominated the power landscape for decades and they know how to influence politicians.  On the bright side, many of the big energy companies have now invested in renewable sources to hedge their bet so they win either way.
