Obviously this is not ubiquitous, but anti-nuclear sentiment at the very least, gets funding from the big oil and coal companies.
Not even trying to be pro-nuclear here, but the shift towards renewables from nuclear could definitely be done in a way that doesn’t result in shifting over to COAL!
So by “proliferation”, do you just mean that any country with a central grid will also be able to create a fission bomb?
Transportation is definitely a huge waste of energy. I didn’t know about the cooling and heating, though – is this just because it’s more profitable for the capitalists to make people pay for air conditioning rather than to properly insulate housing?
“proliferation” is a nuclear energy political term. It historically means that any technology that can be used for energy production can also be used for weapon production, but I think I clearly explained where that line of thinking comes from. Let me know if you need any clarification.

Mostly it’s because landlords. They don’t have to pay the energy cost, so they don’t bother to insulate.
Personally I think it should be part of minimum habitability codes.
It’s Always the Landlords™
