Abundance‑not‑efficiency energy frame

Policy and advocacy that treat cheap clean electricity as a public good will prioritize building large centralized generation (utility solar, geothermal, nuclear) and grid capacity over demand‑side aggregation and micro‑efficiency measures. This is a distinct political program: it shifts lobbying, permitting fights, and investment from conservation technologies and smart‑load management toward siting, transmission, and industrial electrification. — Framing energy as 'abundant' rather than 'scarce' changes which policies, constituencies, and conflicts dominate climate and industrial policy debates.
