The crew of Ptolemaios is so convinced of the righteousness of their cause that the consequences of their actions barely merit any examination. This only makes sense since the only people who would join an organization like Celestial Being are likely to be fanatics to begin with.

These are two slightly different things. While the Ptolemaios crew isn't too concerned about public relations aside for how it impacts Veda's overall plan (whatever that may be), this doesn't preclude them from thinking of themselves as the "good guys".

I'm referring more to how any talk of weapons controls or demilitarization automatically have to refer to nuclear weapons, and how nuclear power is just about the first thing that comes to mind whenever anything that touches on Peak Oil scenarios is brought up. Whether nuclear weapons are used or not is of less relevance on this particular point.
