Hopefully, the investments we're seeing in nuclear will help make it (politically) competitive again to fill the need for baseline power that natural gas is filling. Lower costs to build a plant would lower the activation energy needed to get plants running, non-weaponizeable fuels would help geopolitically, amd especially decreased or less dangerous nuclear waste would be politically hugely important. In the absence of a breakthrough with fusion, fission power could go a long way to cutting carbon emissions
