You could say the same about fossil fuels, moreso perhaps, but we don't, because that would be pedantic.

Well, there’s no need to be pedantic about that particular point, because nobody put fossil fuels on the list of human progress.

I've seen estimates that world population would be billions fewer without fossil fuels.

They have big costs, but also big benefits.

I've seen estimates that the curvature of the world is zero. I'm not obliged to believe every estimate I read.
