The few times Nuke powered ships have come into our harbors, there have been huge protests and outcrys. Trying to dock one permanently to supply power would be a completely impractical idea and get which ever gubbermint who tried it thrown out on their arses overnight pretty much.
Right out of the Trump play book. Neat stuff.
First step is to discount the adversary.
Second is to cherry pick or redirect their protest. (These do nothing fat, dumb and happy thrill seekers were anti nuclear explosive devices rather than just nuclear power systems.)
Third is to discount the adversary.
Fourth is to redirect their message or point to failures of the proposed agenda.
Freedom of assembly is part of the US Constitution. Protesting is also an important part of our cultural political heritage. It's also an important part of governance for all systems of government.
It's tricky projecting changes that represent the future while holding on to current attitudes and capacities. As in glorts example of solar panels supplying all of the household needs. His assertions seem absolutely valid given efficiencies of today's panels, automobiles and use patterns. The rest of the world will change our attitudes and choices.
We may start choosing to use vehicles more realistic to our needs. Smaller vehicles for most trips. Cars and sustainable power generators will become more efficient. Car sharing and renting should become more realistic.
Isn't a great time to be alive. All of these exciting choices coming to the front. Choosing between a bit more cleaner living vs a lot more cleaner living on this planet.
Hey campers! Pack it in - Pack it out. Leave this campsite better than when you arrived.
