Right - we don't have storage capacity. Batteries are another joke. So that basically leaves gravity-hydro reservoirs, late 19th century style. Nuclear uses far less resources (plastics, metals, etc) per unit of energy over lifetime.

Still, it's a good distinction to make for people who aren't familiar with the topic, so ty for that.

If we can get to a point of civilization where we have mini nuclear power plants that power like 20 houses, and mini sewage/water treatment plants for the same, now that would be cool.

I wish all the money that went towards renewables research instead went towards nuclear...
