At that rate, we might have enough battery power (assuming no replacements) in a century or two. We need TWh capacity, not GWh, to change the world over to intermittent generation sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electricity_production https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electrici... > Safe nuclear is this mythical future technology you speak of. Of course not. Nothing is without risk.

You have a strange sense of "least worst", given incidentsw like these happen fairly regularly in the oil and gas industries. Nuclear hasn't killed anywhere near this many people.
