That's silly.

Just because *most* people in the state aren't likely to change their
lifestyles voluntarily to do something about global warming, that
doesn't mean that the enlightened few shouldn't continue to complain
even more loudly and clearly. Until someone listens. Hopefully in time
to avert global disaster.

With nuclear power as one of the energy sources, there is _no
question_ that we can meet our energy needs without use of fossil
fuels. Except for the fossil fuels we'll use while we're building all
those nuclear power plants. That's fine - this _is_ a selfish
strategy. Get one's own nuclear power plants built *now*, while one
can still use fossil fuels for the trucks going to the construction
site - so that when the world wakes up, and fossil fuels are banned,
at least *your* area will be sitting pretty with abundant nuclear
power while everyone else is suffering on what little energy they can
get from wind and solar. (Well, _some_ other lucky people already have
hydroelectricity.)

Given that current warming has already started methane release, and
the oceans are becoming acidic from absorbing too much carbon dioxide,
we probably can't avert the climate catastrophe, so we should *at
least* secure our energy supplies while we still can.

If I'm pessimistic, and switching to nuclear does help prevent
disaster, all the better.
