Realistically you have to compare it to what would have been used instead (mostly fossil fuels depending on the location) rather than nothing though.

That's certainly a prevailing sentiment, but not my own, as I don't regard electrical generation as inevitable (or beneficial).

Presumably all my downvoters don't like all the destructive consequences I already mentioned, they simply don't want to prevent those things if it means forsaking electricity and modern gadgets.
