    The most exciting solution to me is nuclear power, more specifically the newer generation reactors being developed in northern European countries like Denmark. My gripe with so-called renewable energies is their material usage per kwh over a long period of time, playing into their longevity, as well as the waste created by their expiry. On the other side, nuclear power is much more efficient resource-wise, and waste is not as harmful as the world claims it to be; the industry is just too cheap to do fuel reprocessing into MOX reactors instead of cheaply disposing waste...

    What inspiration and wisdom can you gather from your family, faith, or community traditions that would help you in both communicating about and addressing our most pressing energy issues?

    A main concern about energy issues is their impact on people's lives. Most older people do not realize that swapping from dirty to clean energy sources in 2022 is profitable for their electricity bills; they still think green energy is much more expensive. It will be important to explain and detail the slow rise of dirty energy while clean energy prices have shot down a lot.

    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?

    Eating lots of meat is usually considered a norm and a commodity in richer countries while it's a lot more rare, and animals are sometimes considered sacred in poorer countries. While meat does have good nutrients, it is not necessarily healthy; as a matter of fact too much of it is actually way unhealthier than eating greens, Plus, meat being a tier above greens loses an additional 98% energy because of the food chain, which wastes a lot more natural resources in addition to being much more polluting with mass farming and breeding.
