I don't know. I would put my bet with technologies that harness what is already there (sun, wind, rising air, ocean currents) rather than start messing with things that, as you so eloquently put it, we don't fully understand yet - in my opinion, this includes nuclear fission (in particular dealing with the waste thereof).

I think that people in 100-200 years would have no problem with sending the waste to the moon (or some asteroid if they want to life on the moon) if they don't want it on earth. You can't do that with coal ash with is well distributed over the earth.

I do not share your certainty on this.

When the quality of your guess is increadible bad, it's better to reduce the amount of possible damage by not messing around with complex systems.

Precisely why I am opposed to nuclear! The decay of nuclear waste
is such a complex system.

There's no leverage in switching your personal electricity company.

You bet there is! Thousands upon thousands of households in the Netherlands alone choosing to buy green energy meant that our energy companies are now investing in more and more renewable sources of energy.
Not as fast as you and I would like, true. But it
is a difference.

You probably have more influence by choicing the text of your songs than by switching your electricity company.

Perhaps you are right. Maybe you should just pick up a guitar and start singing songs about green energy? Brutha - the green troubadour!
