  1. Agreed for the most part. Nuclear is great for a small package. I think SMRs have a future for datacenters or AI. Yet the markets will go for whatever is cheaper. To me it seems like renewables and batteries are dropping like a rock year in, and out with no signs of stopping. Especially with pervoskites on the horizon. I do want to see nuclear plus TPV cells eventually become a thing. MIT has recently made some with efficiency that rivals turbines with zero moving parts. Imagine one day being able to stick a nuclear pellet into some crazy container made out of some super material that can withstand the heat, shield the radiation, and just have TPVs surrounding it producing energy. Maybe that can give us real small nuclear batteries. Well technically not a battery, but maybe something small enough to power an exoskeleton.
