    Drives me nuts when people talk about lack of climate progress. Sure, we haven’t become carbon neutral in two years

    Drives me nuts when people mischaracterize anger fostered by decades of inaction as impatience.

      I do not see this as impatience, I understand people are upset. It is difficult to see decades of work (many of these programs first started in the 70’s) on something I am very passionate about disregarded as inaction. That is the source of my comment. Slow? Yes. Underfunded? Historically yes. Inaction? No.

      Believe me, if we could get carbon pricing started tomorrow, I would be exhilarated. Let’s kick up nuclear again.
