This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Must be a Monday for a take this fucking stupid.
Idiots: "that's not viable for producing energy."
Apparently it needs to be said again
The answer to energy problems shouldn't have to be either renewables or nuclear. It should be both to tailor the best solution to the environment in which we need power.
Solar and wind power aren't always suitable when you're trying to provide power to places that aren't known for a bunch of solar or wind power. What's the solution there? Burn more oil and coal? No. Use nuclear.
Inb4 "just use dams bro"
We literally alter an entire ecosystem when we put in dams for power generation. We should be trying to avoid massive ecological impacts. That's why fossil fuels bad.
Tldr; stop limiting your ecologically safe power choices. Tailor the solution to the environment you are powering.
After 1980, most of that isn't true except for the tacked-on comment about renewables.
I hope there's been more updating than just a tilt of the head at windmills.
