Yeah, people wanted to greatly reduce CO2 emissions. The renewable crowd said we didn’t need it.

Now we’re way behind in reducing emissions. All these stories about AI needing electricity. Where’s the renewable solution?

Having worked in the industry, "the renewable crowd" were heavily pro nuclear.

Clean coal, clean gas, carbon capture, and the "nothing bad happens when you burn coal I would happily live next to a coal power plant" crowd are the real issue. That's the grift that keeps on grifting.
