These are like dispatches from deep within a cult compound that can only be made by ignoring virtually every metric of human well-being. Poverty, illiteracy, infant mortality, etc., one could go on for days, they're all better. But from within the cult, it looks like "disaster" for other people to use the electricity they bought how they want.

I find it revealing what happens if you say "oh, well, if you're worried about pollution, let's do nuclear." The strange thing is, somehow it's still a problem for them. One begins to wonder if the real issue is not pollution, but simply using plentiful electricity for purposes the complainers don't approve of.
