Nuclear energy is the obvious solution to climate change. We have enough fuel to power all of humanity for thousands of years. The waste is not a problem due to recycling and new reactor designs. It was never really a problem in the first place anyway, since it’s very compact and easily stored underground.
However, the left has had complete control of much of US politics for a long time, yet there was never a real effort or even realistic conversation from that side about actually solving the problem of climate change with the obvious solution.
The left has lost all credibility on the topic honestly and this is the result. It was easier to use the end-of-the-world doom narrative as a political tool instead of actually solving the problem.
We were reliably told by all these experts that Los Angeles would be underwater by now. I think a lot of normal people have started to tune out this conversation for the most part.
Regardless dealing with this would be a luxury. The rest of the economy has to function first and then we can talk about this. If you intentionally sabotage the country with these ideas it doesn't even matter if you're right, the public will tear down the institutions you use to do it.
I mean, look, there's one recent thing that looks to an outsider an awful lot like intentional sabotage of the US economy, and it's not energy-related...
Full title in the article is “More than 85 climate experts call Energy Department report on greenhouse gases "not scientifically credible"”

So far that's not been a problem.

Dealing with this is a matter of survival. It's not a luxury.
'Intentionally sabotage' a country by preparing for climate catastrophe is such a cute way of phrasing things. :)
What part of rising seas, lost coastlines, destroyed harvests and massive flooding and fires don't you folks understand? :)
