I wouldn't use the word nihilism. I'm quite the deep-eco hardliner and in the brightest future I can realisticially dream of, power isn't reliably available to anyone anywhere they wish. Reducing energy consumption is key, not just how it's produced.
The least discussed, biggest elephant in the room, holiest of all cows in the environmental discourse are the lifestyle changes required. Everyone's all green, unless it personally impacts my daily life in any perceivable way whatsoever.
- hcurtiss 5y agoI prefer maximizing human prosperity. That is not necessarily contingent on energy consumption, but at least throughout recorded human history there is a very strong correlation. So long as it does not compromise human prosperity, including in terms of our relationship to the natural environment, I have no objection whatsoever to massive quantities of clean energy.
