We wouldn't need nuclear power if we just had less demand for energy.
>>17082371In Europe and the US we have been increasing efficiency for basically every sort of energy source: gasoline, electrical devices, etc. LED bulbs are like 5x more efficient than old light bulbs, cars have doubled or tripled their gasoline efficiency, and all household appliances are very optimized in terms of energy efficiency compared to what they were even 20 years ago. The problem is that the market seems to respond by eating up the unused supply for increasing productivity. All the cars for more efficient so more goods now get transported using these efficient vehicles (instead of much more efficient trains, or since people order 8 Amazon packages a week instead of getting it all during one trip to the mall, stuff like that).The obsession with energy efficiency is being made a total mockery of right now because of the AI boom, which is burning massive amounts of energy for what? Kids cheating on their college assignments? The only way out of this death spiral is genuine clean energy to replace fossil fuels; higher efficiency is simply not effective at lowering overall energy/emissions levels due to inevitable associated demand increases

>>17082371But they already had significantly less demand for energy when they first invented nuclear energy out of necessity.

>>17082430They learned to invent from the run off of energy from nuclear weapons production.
