I've suggested before a focus on shuttering coal plants, and building zero new ones, at least in the US.  That would provide some benefits even if climate change has been exaggerated.
Small nuke plants are the answer.

That would be the idea, replace coal with nukes of standard design so you don't have to go through long approval processes aside from location.  The SMR concept might be a way to go also.  The Vogtle 3 plant is starting up now.
It would be nice to have a standard design, but each site can be so very different. If we could find a way to make each site at least similar, that would help a ton. The key is to find bedrock and a continuous water supply.

Sure, have the specs required for potential sites clarified.  Avoid earthquake zones and anything near the ocean.  Build them where current coal plants are when possible.  But it won't happen, so no use dreaming about it.

Coal is a very dirty fuel from start to finish.

BERLIN (AP) — Publication of a major new United Nations report on climate change is being held up by a battle between rich and developing countries over emissions targets and financial aid to vulnerable nations.

The report by hundreds of the world’s top scientists was supposed to be approved by government delegations Friday at the end of a weeklong meeting in the Swiss town of Interlaken.


https://apnews.com/article/un-climate-change-science-report-ipcc-meeting-e3469f69980fe949eb21b4bc25cb018f

Among the thorniest issues at the current meeting are how to define which nations count as vulnerable developing countries, making them eligible for cash from a ‘loss and damage’ fund agreed at the last U.N. climate talks in Egypt. Delegates have also battled over figures stating how much greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut by over the coming years, and how to include artificial or natural carbon removal efforts in the equations.

As the country that has released the biggest amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere since industrialization, the United States has pushed back strongly against the notion of historic responsibility for climate change.

They should hold another meeting to discuss it ...

... preferably in some beach resort area.

Talk talk talk, no realistic plan anywhere in sight, and failing badly to meet various paper commitments.

Lake effect snow is a thing with in 2-3 miles from the lake we got about 2 " and sticking. But a mile south it'sjust blowing around with no accumulation. Great Lakes keeps temps a little warmer but wind picks up the moisture

Good golf weather today. Mid-60s and overcast. I prefer mid-60s and sunny, but I'm not complaining.

$50 Trillion?1/???  Sounds like a reasonable guess to me, but that's $2 trillion a year.
