Apologies: I meant to specify above that when renewable energy creates political conflicts in rich countries this is "good" b/c it forces society to think about trade-offs. If people don't want to too much renewable energy infrastructure, they should reconsider how much energy their economy uses.

This forces a healthy discussion. Maybe we don't want to give so much energy to capital and elites. Maybe we want to scale down production of unnecessary things, and lengthen product lifespans, and cut the energy use of the rich etc. These are conversations we should be having.
