    it’s a zero sum game. Our consumption is essentially inelastic, because we are all complete assholes

    Even if that’s the premise there are still other power sources -> more than two choices -> false dichtonomy.
    But then, blaming “people who disregarded nuclear energy” - instead of people who don’t want to change anything in the face of a historically unprecedented worldwide disaster - seems a bit short sighted.
