I watched the video. Unbelievable.
You want energy. Nuke is the way to go. But it takes decades and billions of dollars just for the permitting. Then another 40+ billion and a decade to build. To build a nuke plant now from permitting to online will take over 40 years.Nuclear is the clear answer, IDK why everyone at the table can't agree on that. As far as the grid not being ready for EVs - why can't an EV owner just have a battery wall that trickle charges itself 24/7 (if necessary) and is capable of fast charging the EV when parked? Seems simple enough to me, conceptually. Resource scarcity is a problem, but if all energy production causes environmental issues then I'm for investing in the one that might lead to sustainable innovations (Nuclear, 'Green' > Petroleum). That being said, yes my fleet fuel economy is barely in the double digits. I'd love for gas to get cheap again while we figure this out. And I agree it's expensive for a ton of reasons that don't have anything to do with its actual cost...
Genius, lol.
