However the principal requirement is to reduce the Carbon Intensity. Over the next few decades, we must drive the Carbon Intensity down near zero. There is one country that has done a good job, sweden. Sweden has decarbonized its electricity, which is provided by Nuclear Power and hydropower.

And the poles have stood in the middle of invasions going two directions, in the memory of many of the poles yesterday, they have enjoyed a long period of peace, fairly long, considering their history. But the poles would, i believe, would accept the missiles today and we ought to place them there. The czeches, i dont have as good a measure on, but i would be hopeful that we could place a radar there. And start to build up the Missile Defense shield.
