Yes. Follow in the path of the tech leaders. They are optimists. They totally aren't building doomsday bunkers or trying to build their data centers with their own nuclear power plants to remove them from society and create self contained systems. Oh wait. Crap...
American tech leaders are just as bad, leading the charge straight into the abyss. But if you close your mind to the rest of the world, I can see why you'd see a 0 1 choice here. That's all the corporate media and influencers write these days, all the way from Paul Krugman to Corey Doctorow. And let's not even get started on the Three Men and an ASIC house of AI circle jerkers.
I mean if you're the sort that thinks Greta Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky are agents of the Antichrist, it's long overdue to touch grass. And I don't think he believes that, but I think he thought people were stupid enough to buy it so he ran with it. Can't blame him for trying!
But given the right's hatred of renewables and the left thinks nuclear power plants can explode like atomic bombs, I'd be pushing for gas and nuclear to power my data centers too.
TLDR: you're being fed a false narrative that this is a 0 1 choice, but I guess it will take the rest of the world to demonstrate that not the US.
