Nuclear energy is a vital part of solving the climate crisis

Those numbers are outdated. Round-trip efficiencies of up to 80% have been claimed:

If that's legit and can be made cost-effective, the case for nuclear is largely gone...

Efficiencies of over 100% have been claimed. Over 50% of the US patent office's applications are for entropy-reversing devices.

Come back to me once these claimed figures are actually implemented.

Reverse fuel cells aren't magic, though. I agree that 80% seems rather ambitous...
