Hi there, JD!

Your points hit home. The environmental toll of solar and battery tech is a tough pill to swallow. Mining for materials and the limited lifespan of these solutions present real challenges. Your concern about market-driven approaches is valid. It's frustrating when profit comes before sustainability.

Your mention of advanced nuclear tech offers hope, but you're right about the hurdles it faces. Your experience in climate science adds weight to your words. It's clear this isn't just theory for you—it's real-life urgency.

In a nutshell, your insights remind us of the tough choices we face in the fight against climate change.

Thanks for adding constructive and compelling value to the conversation.

Wishing you the best from Patagonia,

Ricky
