Observation
The cost of ignoring climate change will soon exceed the cost of fixing it.

There should be strong incentives for switching to lower carbon energy sources so we can minimize global warming soon.

I think we've hit tipping points
I'm very concerned we've already hit a major climate tipping point. The temperature graph for 2023 just kind of... diverges away from the graphs of the past (hundred+) years. 2024 isn't better. The hottest four days ever recorded were all within the past two weeks. Climate change is an *emergency*.

Brainstorming
We need more investment in nuclear power to create a good clean base load power generation, so we can transition off coal and natural gas.

Observation
The SEC forcing companies to disclose the risks climate change creates to their business will force companies to take it seriously.

Proposal
Nuclear power provides an economically viable source of energy that addresses the concerns of environmental advocates.
