    Fission is by far the cheapest energy source we have ever discovered. There is no cheaper energy today than an existing nuclear plant.

    We just over regulated it and lost the skills and knowledge, but it’s nothing we can’t regain. And we will. The plus side of having many different nations is that not all nations are scientifically braindead.

    Battery tech improves very slowly and prices are either stable or have even risen die to scarcity. The industry will boom and be very important, but it won’t scale to the level needed to combat climate change.

    The only form of energy storage that is more dense than hydrocarbons is atomic energy.

      You made that up. That’s not true.

      I don’t know what other points you are making. Plenty of “other” countries have nuclear and none of them can do it cheaply.
