There are Democrats signing on to what will work, nuclear energy. My own Governor, Mikie Sherrill is among them; Gretchen Whitmer is another.

Fossil fuels are incredibly destructive but they are some things that so called "renewable energy" aren't, reliable and energy dense.

The collapse of the planetary atmosphere is the most profound crisis in human history in my view, although many seem not to agree.
