If it was actually code red, we would waive literally all safety regulations and environmental policy reviews, and break ground on new plants tomorrow. And cost would be no object.

Cost being no object doesn't mean you should choose unnecessarily expensive solutions...
I suspect you mean if the west believed it was actually code red...

Good luck with that...

Yes. I do actually think it is critical, but it's clear that most people are using "code red" as a semantic device, not out of belief that we should act with _true_ urgency.
