Pragmatic action could be taken if common ground action items were identified. Let me suggest that common ground items are:
We will need abundant, reliable, inexpensive and efficient energy now and in the future.
We should focus resources on proven technologies, like nuclear, that can deliver our needs.
We should implement energy efficiency measures whenever practical opportunities arise.
We should be energy independent as much as possible (I’m speaking as a US citizen here, but could be applied to any country) as this improves national security.
I’m sure there are many more, but tell me if I am wrong about these. Pragmatic actions are certainly the most desirable way to go.
