I'm not sure what you are talking about? The electricity sector is getting pretty clean in the UK. Lots of wind, a bit of solar, a bit of imported hydro. Coal is all but gone. Gas is the big remaining polluter on the grid. The transport sector is going electric quite rapidly, just like elsewhere. Basically a done deal in the UK. Probably over with by 2035-2040 time frame. So "never" has largely already happened and will have completed happening on a pretty predictable timescale.
As for your numbers, you might want to check them. Reality and your numbers don't seem to line up. Your predictions are worth even less. We're not even close to running out of lithium. There's plenty of it and we can recycle it endlessly once we get out of the ground.
Also arguing for nuclear with weak arguments like you are presenting here is probably not helping that case. You are basically doing what you are (wrongly) accusing the journalists that wrote this article.
