Reno and Las Vegas?? um you think the dam turbines stop for the night?
Yes conservation is low hanging fruit but you could think of better examples. like building retrofits in oil dependent economies - the tech is there. Right NOW.
Nuclear...
Typical knee jerk anti-nuke - coal releases far more radiation in the environment amongst other poisons so lets' put paid to the genetic nonsense.
Marginal nations cannot afford nukes and solar makes far more sense than long scale nuclear for them - they contribute almost nothing to the carbon problem - it's a completely ideological red herring.
70% of France, 50% of Ontario, 16% of the world, electricity comes from nukes - if you are anti-nukes at this stage in the carbon issue I suggest
a) reading
b) growing up
It's only one part of the solution to get to carbon neutral and breeder reactors are required to dispose of plutonium based weapons.
Small 40 year power units are coming for communities and these are ideal solutions.
