As it's our Minister's job to arrange for as much power as possible to be produced as cheaply as possible there are a lot of incentives for them to dismiss/ignore climate change, or otherwise claim it is good/making Siberia settleable.
This isn't to say that we can do nothing but it's going to be a joint effort between the brainworms in the minister's head (us) and external pressure to drag the USSR kicking and screaming in the right direction.
Sounds like the work of many omakes but honestly we have consistently gone for hydro and nuclear everytime it's an option with gas and coal only being used to supplement when our power gets too low. I don't see any issues from that side of the economy. No it's going to be the heavy industrial sector and the many chemical plants that will cause the most eco disruption for the next couple decades atleast

Our POV character has anti-environmentalist brainworms, so we cannot be sure there won't be say a major strengthening of the movement in the early nineties or whatever.
Given our "ecological sacrifice zone" approach I bet there soon will be dystopian literature about how the Sacrifice Zones have grown so large that they've eaten almost the entire USSR and are now putting pressure on the cities, humanity suddenly barely able to find room for itself among expanding industry.

We definitely have slack in steam turbines now, given we can still do manual builds. I don't expect we'll still have it if we go to three dice coal. On two dice gas we should still have slack capacity for manual builds too, given our expansion this plan.
We should do Upper Lena next Budget, if just for the Non-Ferrous production.
I expect that we will be doing 4 Nuke dice well after it stops being economic or practical, just for brainworm reasons if nothing else.
Would be good to also do some more Rail Electrification, though I doubt we'll be able to do more than a dice.
As for Housing, the Infra situation is so dire that maybe it would be worth it to do a FYP with minimum Housing and funnel those dice into other things.
HSR for Central Asian is basically locked in for political reasons.
So guessing at the Infra dice we have:
17? base - 3RR - 1HSR - 1 Rail - 3House - 3Hydro = 8 dice
Ideally we would want 9-10 dice per turn if we want to get all the Roads done in one FYP, we'll need to use some Free Dice. Otherwise, we might need to drop Upper Lena for a cheaper Hydro

A fellow Lena enjoyer! But on housing... Ahaha no. The housing situation is tense, no way we're going down to 3 dice. Heck, might end up doing 7. Also your math is borked, no way central asian HSR will be less than 3 dice. Though, 1 dice Caucasus rail is viable, to keep the institutional knowledge without too much expenditure.
18 base - 1 rail electrification -1 RR (2 covered by agri dice) -3 Lena -1 HSR -5 or 7 housing = 7 or 5 Infra dice.... 7 would be doable with some free dice, 5 would be tight.
We'll likely take Housing Sector Reform next turn to end the plan, further schemes depend on what comes out of that and if it locks in 7 dice.
