Do the math on this too. How much storage would half of $21 billion buy? https://insideevs.com/news/458106/battery-cost-110-kwh-prices-decreasing-slower/ https://insideevs.com/news/458106/battery-cost-110-kwh-price... Using a pessimistic $150/kWh (it's already under that) I get 70,000,000 kWh or 70 gWh, enough to run the entire state of California for a little over an hour. So you could build over 10GW of wind power capacity and 70 gWh storage for the cost of one nuclear plant. Nuclear isn't dying because of hippies. It's dying because it's expensive. You're right that the safety concerns are over-inflated, but failure to deliver on its cost promises are the major failure of nuclear (fission) power. If we make fusion work and can scale it, that's a totally different ballgame... but it won't happen fast enough to impact climate change.
