Well said, one question is what’s a realistic way to fold in the legal/regulatory dimension given we’re talking with technologists and not lawyers. I wonder if there any historical parallels to inform us, and what would that look like

“The "cost" doesn't reflect _in any way_ the resource/energy usage, or pollution emission of the system: only the human "cost", which is biased and lobbied strongly towards maintaining existing power” This is t
