@spiritedpause @worldnews It's sleight-of-hand. Fossil fuels - the wealthiest industry in human history - has successfully kept nuclear and renewables at a 10% market share since the first electric car over a hundred years ago. Sacrificing future generations so fossil fuels billionaires get another yacht, is the fashionable abuse-of-power, nowadays.

Nukular was between 15 and 20% in the 90s. It decline afterwards to now 9%.
until declarations become reality ill be skeptical.
theyve been declaring shit for decades
Good. We should be in the nuclear age now with an electric infrastructure already in place and looking forward fusion and renewables.
Trying to go from fossil fuels to renewables is too difficult a step.
20 countries but excluding the single largest driver of nuclear energy development in the world: China.
What a fucking worthless declaration.
I'm not so sure that it's completely worthless. Maybe a third to half of the signees could purchase reactors from Chinese firms.
How isn't that even better, then? Those countries set a bar for themselves, no matter what China decides to do
Why would they need to declare anything? They already are pivoting away from fossil fuels as hard as they can.
