Nuclear weapons have been around a long time. Since WWII to be exact. They are always controversial, but, there is the Non-Proliferation Treaty which the world's countries needs to take more seriously. We have witnessed the rise of extremists. These extremists would like to use nuclear weapons, that we can be confident. But, it is up to the global community the ability for them to succeed.
Realizing the global community has a policy already written and primarily ratified by the majority of countries, it needs to be realized, the Non-Proliferation Treaty denies extremists from carrying out nuclear holocaust.
The tensions that exist between Pakistan and India should be at a peace table no different than Israel and Palestine. Pakistan has to disarm from nuclear weapons as its tribal regions have seen the most dangerous of international terrorists and Osama bin Laden resided within Pakistan near a military academy.
It is time to honor the Non-Proliferation Treaty and make nuclear stockpiles into antiquated mistakes of power.
The Climate Crisis on the other hand is racing to a very tragic end for most life on Earth. We are seeing the Sixth Extinction take it's toll on life that thrived only a short time ago. There is no doubt, the Climate Crisis is dire and is now. We cannot look away from this burgeoning danger that already has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of lives and perhaps even more.
While starvation because bees are no longer available to pollinate our crops and lack of water due to droughts is already upon us, there is no reason to consider these minor problems of which technology will fix; that simply won't happen. It is technology that brought us high carbon dioxide levels. The biotic content of Earth's troposphere is more frail than most realize. The climate shift over the past two decades is more than obvious.
The climate crisis needs to be addresses now. In that I believe Secretary Clinton needs to clarify her idea of providing solar panels throughout the USA. That high aspiration did not completely succeed with the production of American solar panels.
Buy American (click here) and support companies providing manufacturing jobs in the USA. These high quality panels are ARRA* (2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) compliant meaning that they were substantially manufactured in the US, the components were sourced and assembled in the USA, or they qualify under some other ARRA qualification or exemption. ARRA compliant means that they should qualify for ARRA grants, rebates and other purchasing which requires a buy American certification.
SolarWorld manufactures most of its panels in Hillsboro, OR. Suniva produces its ARRA compliant panels in Atlanta.
Transitioning to green energy is vital to the efforts to stop and reverse the climate crisis. We need to be sure "American Made" matters.
Nuclear weapons need to respect the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Climate Crisis needs attention today. Now. The investment of countries does not belong producing weapons of mass destruction so much of green energy products that will save us all.
