> How do you envision energy storage of the future? Where are you going to get the metals? How much fossil fuel is going to burn in order to extract it? Where do they come from for electric vehicles? Also where do you get the uranium from? If we significantly increase nuclear energy production we run out of uranium in 40 years or so. > Also, why are energy prices locked for 40-60 years? The energy required to create a nuclear plant is equal to what it can produce in ~5 years. Maybe you should have a look how contracts for these things are made. Nobody would invest into a nuclear power plant if they don't get a guaranteed price. > I don't understand how you believe the future is "very unlikely to include nuclear". How else do you provide base load requirements? It's naive to think we can transition to a "green grid" without nuclear. Wind, solar are provide base load, they are not load following, to quote wikipedia: Base load demand... can be met by unvarying power plants,[2] dispatchable generation,[3] or by a collection of smaller intermittent energy sources,[4] depending on which approach has the best mix of cost, availability and reliability in any particular market. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_load https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_load
