>Schellenberger points out how the "green energy" move away from high density energy sources (nuclear and fossil) towards low density sources (wind, solar and bio) and the West's attempt to thwart the development of fossil fuel infrastructure in developing nations greatly exacerbates environmental damage.
>countries that can't even build or maintain conventional coal, gas and hydropower infrastructure should instead build nuclear reactors that are orders of magnitude more technically demanding.
"Hippies made me do" it doesn't really explain China and India.

>Instead of adjusting our living situations which is politically unfeasible (in a Democracy), we should thus promote more energy-dense, low-emission infrastructure (Nuclear) to replace high-emission infrastructure (fossil), instead of promoting low-density Solar and Wind to replace Nuclear, while keeping fossil roughly steady (which is currently happening in all Western Nations to varying degrees).
Fracking killed nuclear, but all of his buddies are invested in fossil fuels so he can't say that. Instead, he's created a conspiracy theory about how environmentalists killed nuclear rather than market forces.
