My takeaway: So countries who invest in more power generation (e.g. nuclear) are more likely to thrive from an economic standpoint. When you cut the power off (literally), energy hungry sectors like Manufacturing and Automotive go for a toss (looking at Germany)

My first question: Shouldn’t that be obvious?

There’s a camp that believes doing more with less is better and more efficient for progress.

One point I’d contend with: Is nuclear the only clean energy alternative for a High Power future? With growing adoption of solar energy, this seems to be a more feasible alt energy source for many economies

Disclaimer: I am a novice in this area so I just like asking questions to learn
