    No need for. Solar panels and batteries are at an historically low price and will even become more affordable. There’s simply no economical justification for nuclear energy.

    How many solar panels and batteries are needed to power every electrical grid on the planet?

    Where do we locate all of the panels and batteries?

    Where do we get all of the materials for all of the panels and batteries?

    What is the total cost to operate and maintain that global power grid?

    What is the lifespan of the grid?

    What happens to all of the panels and batteries at end of life, and how much does it cost?
