1. do you agree that an industrial economy can run on windmills and solar?

2. do you agree that nuclear is a sustainable and necessary solution?

3. do you agree that mining provides massive incentives, on huge scale, to nuclear power developers?

Yes (with some help from nuclear, hydro), yes, and no/irrelevant.

Power generation is a social concern, and states provide plenty of incentive to build power plants, especially nuclear - crypto mining is a profit chasing wasteful afterthought.
