Be careful of a single unchallenged individual promoting an environmental savior. Especially when appealing to the sentimental side of saving wildlife. One side can be very convincing until you hear the other side.
I do believe nuclear is a good option. But of course it is not a popular option. I am all for finding the best approach to cleaning up the environment while simultaneously doing what is best for earth’s creatures including humans. But I want to hear all sides of the story and their claims and counter claims.
But this discussion has deviated to power generation rather than electric vehicles replacing ICE vehicles.
