Personnel
gollark: I'm hoping there's some comparatively cheap way to at least mitigate the climatic issues, because otherwise it seems unlikely that (without massive societal change of some kind) much will be done.
gollark: In practice I think the fuel is unlikely to run out, given the multitude of ways to increase uranium use efficiency which aren't economical right now.

gollark: I think we would notice.
