Interesting, right?

If we believe the Titanic is sinking, why are we being picky about the lifeboat?

Anything beyond averting disaster is an over-optimization.

We just closed Diablo Canyon and Indian Point nukes, not a moment too soon. Money wasted propping up those ramshackle contraptions can now go into solar and wind construction, at a better marginal return on new construction than we got just operating them. But they will unfortunately drain another billion dollars just being decommissioned.
