That's fantastic but unfortunately there is no viable grid storage close to being capable of actually utilizing renewables for the majority of power all over the world. https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/renewables/batteries-need-to-get-biglike-enormousfor-solar-power-to-shine https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/renewables/batteries-need-t... Are we really going to risk human civilization on the immediate invention and mass fabrication of new storage technologies orders of magnitude more efficient then what we have?

Well, let’s get to 30-40% solar/wind before we start worrrying about grids that cannot accept majority renewable. And guess what, at that point maybe some of the newer, safer, and cheaper nuclear designs would have been proven so the nuclear plays we build then for the next few decades are better than the ones we would build right now.

Massive energy storage can^W will be built in fraction of time needed to build and then demolish a nuclear power plant.
