"It is my genuine belief that the only way we will be able to avoid the worst consequences of this emerging existential crisis is if we create a critical mass of people who demand the changes required. For that to happen, we need to rapidly spread awareness, because the general public still lacks much of the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand the dire situation we are in. My wish is to be part of the effort to change that."

The plan to unleash a wave of small futuristic nuclear reactors to power the AI era is falling back on an age-old strategy to dispose of the highly toxic waste: bury it at the bottom of a very deep hole.
There is no very deep hole, and the stockpile of some 100,000 tons of radioactive waste being stored at nuclear plants and sites across the United States keeps getting bigger. #climatechange #climatecrisis
Water scarcity is a major problem. Global Warming is bringing both dreadful flooding and deep and long-lasting droughts.
We are also managing our water very badly. It is not an endless resource!
While the issue is principally caused by agriculture and industry, each of us can make a difference.
We need to urgently change our diets and shopping habits. And we also need to harass our politicians about water use.
