It's astounding to me, no matter how much you try to reason and give examples of why these approaches can't/haven't been working, it's like trying to get through a brick wall.

Do you think trying to force everyone to radically alter their lifestyles is going to work any better?

Once again I find myself confused when so-called environmentalists seamlessly shift between "renewables will soon be so cheap and abundant that there's no need for nuclear power" to "we're all doomed unless we strictly ration energy and abolish capitalism".

I don't know where you think I said that. However, climate change is going to force radically altered lifestyles, and if you disagree with this, you simply aren't paying any attention.

It seems like you're creating an argument that I did not present out of thin air. Have fun arguing with your strawman.
