I believe the convenience of not having to charge your phones will beat everything, plus if the commercial prototype is deemed to be safe when tested with early adopters (military, space use cases), then the laggards will have no option but fall in line, esp if the economics mentioned in the interview hold true at scaled production. Psychological issues exist only until a critical mass adopts it :) Also, the comparison with nuclear plants is a little inaccurate I feel. Power supply (as we know it) has always been centralised and hence comparisons are made with other centralised solutions such as thermal power plants. With this technology, we could be able to decentralise it - much cleaner and free from central grid fluctuations/failures.
