Yes, you antinuclear scumbags are at fault for this. Just compare nuclear France at 19 g CO2 per kWh vs coal loving Germany at 283 g CO2 per kWh.

Then you can probably weather the worst of climate change for the next 30 or 50 years. You will probably get your clock cleaned if you live near the coast though.
The problem with nuclear is that when there is a problem you lose all of your property except what you can carry with you because you have to evacuate your city immediately for 10 years.

Are you under the impression that there are no nuclear power plants in America?

Of the 54 nuclear power plants in America I can't think of a single one that caused a city to be evacuated for 10 years. Did I miss some news? Which cities have been evacuated for 10 years?
So every nuclear power plant is one round of privatization and one bad quarter away from skipping necessary maintenance.
These nuclear power plants have been operating for a LOT longer than one quarter. Your claim is just entirely contrary to objective fact. There are 54 nuclear power plants that have been operating in the US for many quarters and exactly zero of them have resulted in a city being evacuated. It's not impossible, but it's also not impossible that an asteroid could hit the earth and wipe out all life. Your assessment of probability is out of sync with observed fact.
