I now live somewhere where I am confident they won’t target in a nuclear exchange moving from somewhere which certainly would be to the point I would be vaporised immediately. Not really going to prepare much in any way I think but I would unfortunately be living in said wasteland.

They take bloody ages, years ago makes sense but as each year goes on and renewable + storage looks better assuming some kinks can be worked out:

https://spectrum.ieee.org/electrolysis-of-seawater etc. Hydrogen fuel for storage (burns into water) and using excess renewable to power it, or better yet Severn barrage as a power source and place to do it.

EAT. SHIT.


Eh arguably neither nuclear nor solar/wind is fully "green" or "renewable" right now, since commonly used nuclear fuel isn't completely unlimited and wind/solar plants require massive energy storage (for the most part with not particularly eco-friendly lithium batteries; other storage isn't really practical yet on sufficient scale) or using fossil fuel plants to counter cyclical issues.

Both are still far better than anything else obviously and conceivably could get significantly better with further R&D.

But fixating on setup cost and ignoring the cost of energy storage is extremely shortsighted when comparing the two and usually pushed by people who complain about ScArY UnNaTuRaL AtOmS, which is sadly somewhat common.
