You're still speaking to me like you're a petulant child.

Decommissioning a nuclear plant is a 15 - 30 year process. If you don't safely shutdown the reactor and manage the spend fuel, you end up with a radioactive hellscape. I'm sorry, but thems the facts.

Humans are animals, and we act like animals. Just like any other species. There are very few nations that have zero population growth...the vast majority are either expanding or contracting. I like kurzgesagt, too, but by your own definition (and theirs), they are extremely simplified explanations of complex topics.

The only evidence I have that economic collapse leads to war is all of human history, but here's some research in that as well. https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-famines-and-epidemics-trigger-wars.

The original post was soliciting opinions about what we should do. Yours was "nothing", mine was "make it as painless as possible." Those are both opinions, and opinions are what was asked for. I based mine on scientific literature, and you based yours on some YouTube videos.

I hope you're as young as you're acting and you've still got time to grow up...otherwise you're gonna end up lonely or burying yourself in echo chambers because you can't handle discussions that don't validate your gut reaction.
