WRONG, it is economically impossable

it will start wars.

          What started WWII ?

and always will be.  Alt sources cost too much, cause more pollution 
during manufacting and last less than 30 years

even nuclear is less than 50 years

No we don't.

The Paris Agreement is a toothless joke and no one is going to pay
the slightest bit of attention to it.

-------

Yet you are against the ONLY viable alternative.... Nuclear power.

You refuse to see that your opposition to nuclear is choking our planet. Literally killing it.

It's not global warming deniers who are the problem.. It's the anti nuke people.

We need 50 new nuclear power stations over the next 20 years.
