How to Avoid a Climate Disaster - Book Review

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need, by Bill Gates, is a book about what we can do to avoid things getting much worse, climate wise, and perhaps one day better.

Unfortunately, there are no magical solutions, just a lot of small things that could be done, as well as possibilities.

The idea of green premiums - the extra cost between an alternative that causes carbon or carbon equivalent emissions and the version that emits less or none.

I think I learned a lot about techniques in this area I didn't know about, as well as had some useful suggestions about what I can do personally, such as eat less meat (and eat meat substitutes, to show that there is a market for those as well as lower the price), invest in green tech, and be an earlier adopter of green tech (such as electric cars or use electric panels).

Of course, the biggest thing that would help would be using nuclear power, but as all people see is 50s tech, they obviously see it as bad and are violently opposed to it. Meanwhile, modern nuclear power is probably the best solution to all power problems, as it runs all night and in all seasons.
