What stocks are you buying and how much of your retirement fund are you betting?

Most of the companies I'd like to buy aren't public yet. As for retirement, I'd probably put 20% into energy storage, again if I could.

It's a false dichotomy anyway, because I wouldn't put _any_ money into nuclear stocks.

have you considered how much storage capacity is really required for a nation scale grid? Does that seem like a possible thing to install/build?

LiCycle and GMET, and also exercising my own company’s stock options. As soon as Form Energy goes public I’ll put a significant amount of money into them as well.

Storage IS a solved problem, it's just not scaled up yet (batteries) or depends on geography (water / hydro).

Battery storage is still mostly LiIon, simply because it has a lot of preexisting investment in R&D and large-scale production. I expect battery storage to become much more economical once a technology developed for the requirements of grid-scale storage takes off. There are plenty of good candidates, but none of them seem to be quite there yet.

I also expect a lot more hydro to be built eventually, it's not as dependent on geography if you just build two ponds at different elevations for pumped hydro, or repurpose old mineshafts to get the elevation difference on flat ground.
