What we find almost every day are stories where someone is looking for something to back up their conclusions.

For decades we have lived under a conservation approach to energy. We have been trying to replace high output energy sources with low output "green" sources. So it makes sense that the assumptions would be that increasing energy usage is the devil we need to kill.

Its not that simple. I know enough about electricity gen and delivery to know I dont know much but enough to know most people are clueless about it. Thinking you can just slap solar on every roof is a solution is an example of this. Thinking bitcoin mining is terrible or a magic fix. Thinking we can get off of oil without nuclear. They all seem dumb to me.
