The Complexity of Trying to Help the World
I think nuclear power to me is an amazing example of this, where as I understand it, people in the environmentalist movement who really care about the environment, fought nuclear power so hard that they basically screwed over the environment. But even that idea is complicated because with nuclear, you know, the IAEA says that if we are to get to a zero carbon emission world by 2050,. We'll have to have nuclear in the mix, but it's only going to be about 10%. That to me is like a cautionary tale of the world's too complicated to just assume you know the right answers.
