You do understand that you can’t quickly scale up nuclear production, necessitating storage for that too, right? Wind is comparable cost to solar too, and (depending on the area), does generate through the night.
The nuclear nonsense is pushed by the fossil fuel industry for good reason - it buys them an extra decade of being able to sell their product while people fight nuclear plants in their back yards that take years longer to build - all as we run out the clock to such a degree that we’re at the point of that narrate pivoting to “well it’s too late now - why dump fossil fuels?”

There is a proof of concept to beam solar energy from the space. Airbus is working on it, that could be a revolution.
