Thing is, the Carbon Binge is not some inherent upper cap on personal prosperity, material security, or exercisable agency. If you do the back of the envelope math about cost per kilowatt, it's pretty obviously the case that there's a much better future right there. (Even if we're all subsisting on a diet with a major component made out of blue-green algae for a few hundred years.)
It's important to hang on to that; the reason to leave this maximum is that the other one's better.
