Damn it, we can't nuke hurricanes and now we can't even nuke climate change.
The problem? US electric production is only responsible for about a quarter of US greenhouse gas emissions. Even if we went all-in on nuclear, hydropower and other renewables we'd have a lot of carbon left over in transportation, agriculture, industry, and residential/commercial. Electric heat for buildings and electric cars could shift some of the load but I don't think people will be putting nuclear powered steam generators in Manhattan to heat office buildings. Maybe!

Clarice-
The second story in the WSJ column hits the word "Stakeholder" straight in the chest and puts the ATT CEO's name on that particular chest:
"AT&T ’s New Stakeholder
Now this is more like it. Recently this column noted the trouble AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson has been courting by pledging to manage on behalf of “stakeholders” who don’t actually have a stake in his business. But today brings news of a real stakeholder. And fortunately for the other real live shareholders who depend on the firm’s success to fund retirement and other needs, this new stakeholder seems devoted to the old-fashioned idea that management’s job is to create value. Drew FitzGerald reports in the Journal:
Activist investor Elliott Management Corp. disclosed a $3.2 billion stake in AT&T Inc., criticized the company’s strategy and called on the telecommunications giant to shed unnecessary assets.
The New York hedge fund wrote in a letter to the company released Monday that it would seek seats on the company’s board and challenged AT&T to sharpen its focus..."
OOPS.

First tweet in the group is this:
The ratio of Democrat to Republican professors in different disciplines, according to a 2018 paper by Mitchell Langbert:
• Engineering = 1.6:1
• Economics = 5.5:1
• Physics: = 6.2:1
• History = 17.4:1
• Sociology = 43.8:1
• Anthropology = 133:1

Among other things the author (and my friend, apparently) doesn’t know.
But there’s also the assumption that the election of someone they don’t like is an indication that democracy doesn’t work.
And the phrasing “far right authoritarian” to describe President Trump, which is crap.
And the phrasing “taken power” to describe Trump’s election and that of some of the Eastern European governments and Boris Johnson, which carries the implication of illegitimacy.
And the blind worship of “elites” whose job is to protect the citizenry from themselves.
The friend who posted this is, when talking about real-world stuff related to his actual work, is very, very smart. And as a human being in social situations he’s a good person and will always help a friend in need. And I’ve seen him with his kids, and he’s a fantastic father.
And I can’t square that with the hatred and garbage he posts on FB and the contempt in which he talks about the stupid and ignorant t and racist people who support the President. And I feel really hopeless about the future because there are a LOT of people like him and I can’t see how the gap gets bridged, how we get back to, “I think you’re wrong about politician/policy X and I’m voting against you, but who cares, let’s go get a beer” which is how a healthy society treats politics.
