Why would you assume it's unlikely to harm you without years long studies that were the normal expectation before the last year and a half?

Put yourself in the shoes of an honest, hardworking police man/woman for the past 2 years and tell me honestly what you would do in their situation. I know I would either have already left or be biding my time looking for an exit.

Grid scale electrical storage technology is not even developed, let alone remotely cost competitive, but it is a prerequisite for actually realizing any of the benefits of wind and solar.
We're at least a generation (~25 years) too early and unfortunately the least fortunate among us will bear the cost of our delusions.
Re:Bitcoin Miners Eye Nuclear Power as Environmental Criticism Mounts

The demand for gas is increasing because the wind isn't blowing as much as they thought it would. You still need the entire fossil generation system as a backup for renewables for when the sun doesn't shine and wind doesn't blow. Until there is grid scale electrical energy storage, renewables simply increase the cost of the whole system.
