Given the high cost and long lead times involved, I’m incredibly dubious about this one actually happening.

    You misunderstood what I’m saying. I’m not talking about what is powering things, I’m talking about what we need in order to power an all-electric future.

    Nuclear has a much higher power capacity for generation than solar and wind.

    If we want to replace the coal, natural gas, and oil in that graph, we’re going to need nuclear.

      What we need now, to not transform earth into a postapocalyptic wasteland, are renewables. What type of electricity we use after that I don’t care about.
