Let's just focus on the part we seem to agree on...FFs are vital and this planet only has ~47 yrs of

proven oil reserves...a bit more for gas reserves (--> plastics), but still, not all that long a horizon...actually, this realization is what got me to "take my talents" to a nuclear Fast Reactor project back in 1974 ;-)...that, and the political shock of the 1973 OPEC Oil Embargo...btw, acceptance of the 'Global Warming' issue took a bit longer, so I can appreciate your reluctance...nonetheless, back to our shared concern...

This is by any definition a major issue that MUST be addressed...i.e. we need to shift away from the practice of incinerating a unique and precious resource, to other energy sources that provide the same benefit (heat and motive power), yet are vastly more sustainable and more accessible by everyone (and thereby preserving FFs for better uses)...Nuclear Power, and Renewables (where appropriate).

We can do this...all we need to do is gather conservatives like you and liberals like me...Joe Biden, Joe Manchin, Corey Booker and others to demand a plan of action and then implement it. Sadly, right now the GOP position is MORE consumption of FFs, with no acknowledgement of the near term horizon we both see...on the other side, there is a Dem contingent that refuses to accept nuclear power....that's got to change.

Can we find a way to work together on this?

NOTE: you may have seen the link before, but I've included it for your convenience, and that of any other viewers who hadn't seen it...it's a great, un-emotional overview of the challenge and possible strategies for dealing with it...whether you believe in FF shortage, or Global Warming...or both.
