Having both a bone to pick with socialism and using a “this time it’s different” argument in the same comment is more than a little incongruous.
Note that nobody in this conversation has disagreed about the virtues of building more nuclear power. The observation is solely that you’re asking for something that’s substantially harder than anything else humanity has ever done while handwaving everything else away. That just isn’t good argumentation.

That just isn’t good argumentation. I think mass-production of nuclear reactors and vertical farms (to give a couple of examples) is substantially easier and more realistic than coordinating global caps and reductions in consumptions through mandatory limits on private industries and citizens.
