Oh it can and it will.

I suggest innovation from private enterprise (Tesla for e.g.) is more likely to have a positive effect on climate change than state mandated wealth redistribution and unsurprisingly some brand me as a denier.

Anyway, this thread is about nuclear energy being a viable clean alternative to coal, which I support (because its cleaner) but still I'm a denier?

because it wont make a difference and power generation remains in the hands of a small number of individuals. this is what you want to maintain now that defending coal, oil gas monopolies become untenable.

So what's the solution?

RENEWABLES and an economic system that is not based on maximising profits but rather on the needs of society.

We also need to start building our cars and tele's and our washing machines to last and to be efficient. We also need build all knew buildings counscous of the energy and light needs. We've become accustomed to a lifestyle as result of the arrogance of our footprint on the planet. This has to change. Will take a good 1 generation of full on education to do that. in this country we're going backwards under the current gov (sponsored by the very companies holding us back)

Cool, thats a great Ideal

Who is going to develop renewable energy to a point where it is a feasible option?
What is their motivation to do so going to be?
Who is going to fund it?

No I'm not
I believe the answer is private enterprise and good old fashioned capitalism

Again, great idea.....but who is going to build these more efficient longer lasting machines? Where is the innovation going to come from?

The tide is turning, demand for greener products is increasing and the private sector will look to capitalise, it is already happening.

It will take time, but it will happen. Tesla are expanding to home batteries which store solar power for later use. They are also developing cars that will be affordable to the masses.

No, and it is about as effective as the policy introduced by the previous govt.

My mate? you are too black and white, left and right. Nothing gets achieved with that mentality.

Ha......Im not suggesting we cannot solve it and Im not suggesting it is too late. You have reached stage 5 by suggesting if we cannot solve the issue before the next election it is too late.

It is all going to be ok. It is a real issue, and one we will work out.
