What would I undo? The thing that comes to me is nuclear technology. It seems to be such a dangerous concept with the effects being bad from start to the unending finish. Even after the fuel is no longer useable, it is radioactive and a hazard to humans and animals.
There are power installations in many industrialized countries in the world that rely on the nuclear option. Overall the industry will try to use facts and figures to convice us that the amoutn of energy generated compared to the risk is slight. Tell that to the residnets of Chernobyl. The long tern effects are still being learned. You can also refernce the damage to the Fukushima Daiichi reactor in Japan during the Tsunami of 2011.
Also we must think about the destruction of the nuclear weapons unleashed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan. The hostory books credit these devices with stopping the war in the Pacific. Were they actually necessary? The amount of lives lost through these attacks is staggering.
Even todya the spectre of nuclear war is frightening. We have been able to step away from a Superpower vs. Superpower nuclear war possiblity, but think about how much ink is used to describe the state of alarm towards countires with ambition to harness nuclear weapons and the possiblity they will use this to project their power on other countries.
Part of this prompt asks us to explain an alternative. I do not know enough to fulfill this direction. The repercussions, would have been to create more fosil fuel energy plants, or perhaps employ more alternative energies.
