We should develop nuclear energy, but even if we don't the world will not ending due to climate crisis. Such catastrophising is not supported by science and this is exactly why nobody on the right takes this issue seriously.

The old management of Twitter had a strategy of making it a big tent, comfortable for centrist views and centrist-adjacent views. This meant drawing lines on both sides of the political spectrum, and naturally people near the line on either side were continually furious with them.
