comment:

Startling enough, he doesn't see the need for nuclear power because climate change problem isn't a big enough problem yet.  He thinks 10-15 years more of research for better reactors is necessary.  He may be thinking of fusion reactors.  Fusion reactors, in my opinion, may never work.  To wait 10-15 years for that or for the other things to develop may be sheer folly if those things never work out---and there's a risk that they won't.

He's against geoengineering.  I can agree with that.

Does Gore even know about molten-salt reactors?  Or is he claiming to be so smart that he thinks that they aren't good enough, and therefore, he knows better than Alvin Weinberg, who worked on the Manhattan Project?
