When I was a kid, they wanted to build a nuclear power plant at a certain point in Spain. People from the area came out en masse to protest against it. They carried a candle and their motto was that they preferred it before nuclear energy. Was it really so? Absolutely not, what they really meant was that they wanted to continue consuming electricity at cheap prices, but to move the nuclear power station to another site. But the people in that other place would also behave the same way. Where do we get it then?
If we citizens, do not behave like adults, politicians will treat us like stupid.
After the recent problem at a nuclear power plant in Japan, the effect was to create a general mood against nuclear power. Consequently, we shut down all nuclear power plants and create "green energy", without taking into account the possible adverse effects of this so-called "green energy". If you acted in a reasonable way, and allowed neutral experts to work, it is possible that the most reasonable thing would be to have a mix between nuclear and wind / solar energy, etc.
When we notably increase the population, when it was decreasing, it will be necessary to understand that if we all consume energy, it is most likely that we will need more of it. Where do we get it? More power plants will have to be built which will probably destroy the environment. If we are willing to face this notable increase in population, not showering daily may not be an excessive tribute to pay.
If we make extensive use of the electric car, where will we get the necessary excess electricity? What will happen to the batteries once they reach the end of their cycle?
Transgenic food? No thanks, although I'm afraid that won't be up to me.
