I like Renewables but, on a simplistic napkin math, nuclear is stabler, produces more and for longer, something like 2x or even 4x cheaper.

That said, if people consumed less we would not need that much energy / impact.

As more people buy electric cars they will consume significantly more electricity than they did before. There’s also many on here talking about switching home heating to electric heat exchangers.

Reducing electricity consumption is not going to happen. The bulk of the green movement today hinges on tons of net new clean electricity generation.

There may be differences about mobility in the future. Also I read that house insulation was the way to go. Semi passive temperature control.
