The thesis was antinukes, a set of bourgeois consumer types lacking in both education and in decency, give as much of a shit about human poverty as they do about climate change: Zero.
QED.
Um...um...cobalt slaves are not lying around on their fat asses thinking about building a suburban house in a tract house in a gated community with lots of cul-de-sacs from which they can drive to Nordstroms in their swell Tesla cars provided by Apartheid loving right wing billionaires.
This is what their lives involve:

From Stone to Phone MODERN DAY COBALT SLAVERY IN CONGO. (It's possible to call up thousands of these pictures in an instant, if, and only if, one gives a shit.)
It also establishes what I love to repeat: Antinukes refuse to acknowledge the laws of thermodynamics, possibly because it would involve being educated.
Other obviated corollaries:
Repeating of Amory Lovins' bullshit indifference to anyone who isn't white and living in a suburb in some wealthy neighborhood should disgust anyone having a sense of decency is still popular.
If one lacks a sense of decency, of course, one can glibly be an Amory Lovins wannabe, chanting his nearly 50 year old oblivious bullshit that left us here:

Where exactly are those solar heated molten salt tanks he advocated being in suburban backyards in his 1976 exercise in displaying extreme stupidity and inability to appreciate engineering?
I note that the same antinukes who successfully worked to destroy American nuclear manufacturing infrastructure so they could enjoy complaining about the cost of the Vogtle reactors, don't really give a shit about costs. What bothers them is that the Vogtle reactors would take away money that they might use to buy a bigger flat screen TV, is that the people who benefit the most from the building of this valuable infrastructure belong to the future generations about whom they couldn't give a shit.
It's pure selfishness and indifference.
No. Sense. Of. Decency. None.
Have a wonderful Saturday afternoon.
