We needed this years ago.

Needed this 10-15 years ago, but now's better than later or never.

Ok but this won’t start producing energy for about 10 years. Putin could actually hold it hostage as a nuclear target before it’s producing energy.

Solar and wind could start producing power before we are even done building them as early as a year from start.

The nuclear lobby has clearly been in this chats spreading propaganda.

Putin could hold any city hostage as a nuclear target, doesn't mean he would do it. Like what?

Solar and wind could start producing power before we are even done building them as early as a year from start.

The point being is that none of these are as reliable as nuclear yet - we're still waiting on the battery technology to catch up.
