(1) Fuck our economy. I don’t give a flying flip about an economic boom if it comes at the cost of our drinking water and environment. In the end, human health is more important than money.

(2) Heat pumps driven with nuclear-derived electricity are a perfectly good way of heating homes. Though the way the Russians/Swiss do it isn’t bad either. Use waste heat to produce steam, pipe it under the street to towns near the power plants, and heat homes directly. The steam circuit is isolated from the cooling circuit of the power plant, so the steam is non-radioactive. It’s called “district heating.”

(3) China and India should be encouraged to switch to clean nuclear, hydro, and renewables. Not fossil farts.
