I believe the more technologically advanced we live the more energy we will use. Travel requires energy, ai models require energy, healthy food requires energy

The cheaper and more abundant we can make electricity, the faster we can reap the benefits of new technology

imo nuclear is an important part to have abundant energy at all times

Abundant yes, but new nuclear is by far the most expensive way to generate power, and it gets worse everyday as solar and storage prices plummet

50 or 100 years from now we may run out of solar and wind resources to tap. We may consume a couple order of magnitudes more energy than now. Materials science may have unforeseen advances that make nuclear development safer and cheaper.

Nuclear will find its place in the sun - so to speak - at that time. But not now I think. The numbers don't work.
