I think I understand why the worst people are excited about building new #nuclear power plants, but are cold (or even antagonistic) towards #renewables.
It's about centralization and centralization is about control. Renewables spread out power generation, even sometimes generating power at the point of use.
Renewables are democratic; massive power stations, no matter what they are burning, are autocratic. It's as simple as that.
Note: Search and replace 'nuclear power plants' with 'cloud computing', 'renewables' with 'on premise data centers', 'generating power' with 'computing', and 'power stations' with data centers'. The entire post still works in that different context.
