> You think other countries can't restrict those things? Restricting components related to those things will work just fine. Eh, once you have built your grid in solar and wind, you don't really depend on the countries that sold solar panels and wind turbines for you. Those last for a long time, long enjoy that you can even spin up manufacturing yourself; it's not really something inscrutable. There may be an argument that depending on the state of the world that raw materials to manufacture some of those things may become more complicated to access, but that is true even for countries that currently make those. > If you want clean, abundant, cheap, secure energy, invest in nuclear. Absolutely, yes. Energy should be abundant and diversified.

You don't account for repair, replacement and upgrade? You don't want to expand your power grid? This is a very naive take to be honest. No country should be stagnant with what they already have, that's a recipe for a disaster. I can argue the same, once you have built your grid in nuclear and stockpile enough uranium for decades, you're pretty much set right? Those last for a long time as well :).
