Nuclear has 1.000.000.000x the energy density of batteries so yes, but you need dead trees to build and maintain power lines, the power grid cannot be remade after it's current decline.
Tiny local hydro (with natural dam) is the future, but getting a building permit is near impossible. (I leave it to the reader to guess why)
We need to switch off electricity for everything except (low power) computers and networks. = hand pumped water, wood stove for water heater, earth cellar as fridge!
Mass transports are completely over, grow/breed/preserve your food locally!
- bzbarsky 6y ago> wood stove for water heater Even ignoring the CO2 aspect, the particulate emissions from this would be quite problematic in any sort of dense area. Not to mention what fraction of those particulates would end up inside the house... Also, you don't mention heating (houses, not water). That is a huge part of energy consumption in many parts of the world.
- ryanmarsh 6y ago> the power grid cannot be remade What has changed such that you could not remake the power grid? Do we lack the raw materials or know how?

- sudosysgen 6y agoYou don't need trees for powerlines. Steel and an excavator is more than enough. Actually, just a shovel would be enough.
