I get the concept, but it also seems that there’s degree of necessity to most of those other practices. Diving supported exploration, aviation and sailing did the same and travel.

No disagreement with the first part, but I feel like shitting on nuclear, especially when it’s already built and generating power like the Diablo Canyon facility that’s the subject of the article, could be pushing that capacity to other non-renewables.
