I think this illustrates one of the central issues in confronting climate change. Despite what politicians say about how much they prioritize climate change, when push comes to shove, they prioritize cheap, reliable power because that is what their constituents prioritize. So unless you can provide cheap, reliable power with zero carbon energy, we are not going to make much progress.
