The temperature of Uranus recently changed suddenly in an unexplained fashion!

So maybe we will discover something on Uranus that will help to save Earth
from global warming!

We already know how to save Earth from global warming. It's quite
simple. All that's missing is the political will. And we're not going
to find that on Uranus!

That's true enough.

I could see politicians using a mission to Uranus as a way to justify doing
nothing, of course.

I've already explained how I feel about this. Nuclear power. It lets
conservative politicians feel they're still "owning the libs"! More
importantly, it's a _proven_ way to produce energy, and it isn't strictly
limited by the amount of available sunlight or wind. That doesn't mean
wind and solar, and the energy storage needed to make them more
useful, shouldn't be developed, but if we want to get to zero fossil
fuel use, and we don't want to crimp heavy industrial production at
all, nuclear fills the bill.

Need more energy? Build another plant.
