Gonna need a source on the age of cheap batteries.
All large scale batteries are chack full of rare earth metals, which are not named for their famous availability.
Canada developed reactors to run on waste fuel from other reactors.
CANDU 9 IIRC
Not them, but having read this entire thread, what contra points?
Other than that, I haven’t seen much in this thread.
I see a few points of how Frances configuration for cooling may not be good, but that’s not an unsolvable problem?
At least more solvable than the energy storage problem.
Physicist, not an engineer.
You need baseline and demand power.
Renewables like wind and solar are great for demand. As they provide power typically when usuage is peaking. But those power outputs drop when its needed most, so you still need baseline power.
Nuclear power is great at baseline, but because it takes a lot to ramp power up and down, isnt great to handle peak loads.
Notice the team up here?
Why is it always renewables or nuclear. Both have their places.
This solves the energy storage problems as well. Less of a need for batteries with rare earth metals that are… Finite.
The only people looking to expand open source to mean things like open weights, are the same as people looking to have AI be a thing.
Ai disclosure?
You should as a rule read community rules before posting your projects.
Your missing the disclosure in your title
What’s stopping you from doing it yourself? Be the change you want to see.
I mean sure.
But I’ll also point out the comment wasn’t there wasn’t any reason, but a logically sound one.
Hence why I said its not logically sound to say era of cheap battery storage, because thats not our current reality.
So sure, there’s other points, but none worth discussing?
