A great post. I agreeānuclear advocacy just isnāt all that effective in a world where costs of renewables and batteries have fallen so much and continue to fall.
I think more widely, what is judged āthe most effective climate philanthropy interventionā will shift rapidly over time due to technological/āeconomic/āsocietal progress on climate and itās going to be a constant scramble to keep up with that. This is different to the situation GiveWell is in, and GiveWell have far more money for their analysis operations than Giving Green do.
I encourage continued donations to Giving Greenās operations costs. They need to be able to pay staff for good analysis.
I encourage continued red-teaming of climate interventions and pointing out where interventions that might have been judged a high-EV bet in the past have ceased to be so.
