Sure, but even a grain of sand that I can't build on or walk over is still going to be annoying. It's still just rude no matter how small you think the problem is.

we are in a climate crisis and wind/solar alone are just not going to cut it.

And nuclear is the safest power source (measured in deaths/twh) which humans have been using for decades.

I'm pretty sure you also can't build on or walk over a large pile of garbage. At least with the grain of sand there's not much area displaced.
