Again, I am rooting for nuclear to take off. The best realistic plans are that low gigawatts will start to arrive towards the end of this decade. Meanwhile, wind and solar will be added at that scale every year in between, and more and more of it will be used to create liquid fuel:
Advocating for clean power is good. Failing to update the priors that Stewart Brand et alia formed 15 years ago when wind and solar were an order of magnitude more expensive and three orders of magnitude less deployed is not good.
Wind and solar scaled better in 2019 than the Chinese were hoping nuclear would scale when they made big plans c. 2015. Those plans weren't realized: https://twitter.com/sampenrose/status/1162772916125126656
