The main thing you are missing is there is Nuclear if our Rulers actually gave a damn about climate change (hint: they don't) or if they really cared about future energy shortages (double hint: they don't). All they do care about is:
1) profiting with minimal effort from energy scams that have no connection whatsoever with legitimate energy markets, i.e. wind & solar, hydrogen, agrofuels, carbon offset trading
2) creating high energy prices = high profits for them
3) creating an energy crisis (via climate change narrative), and use that for imposing their dream of a World Totalitarian Techno-Feudal Tyranny
4) destroying the Middle Class, which they hate and see as their biggest threat
Under this leadership, nuclear will go nowhere, at least in Western countries, because the Overlords will always ensure it is stifled by artificial means, as they have done very successfully the past 50yrs.
And if you can imagine a World (or maybe just China) where rationality prevails, there REALLY is a Free Market, then Nuclear Fission juggernaut would be unleashed. In this World Governments would fund & fast-track prototype builds of a dozen different types of reactors. This would be a small portion of what they have thrown down the sewer on Wind & Solar scams. Private companies would be building factories that crank out hundreds of SMRs every year each.
Understand this, a super-sophisticated, state-of-the-art Tesla costs ~ $40k per tonne of highly processed metal. So that's $600M for a 1GWe NPP, @15ktonne/GWe. By all comparisons, metal processing complexity per tonne, sensors per tonne of metal, control points per tonne of metal, copper, rare earths, plastics, wiring, information processing per tonne of metal, the Tesla is far higher than any NPP. And the Model S plaid has total 1MW motor/generators. So for a 1 GWe of NPPs that would be the equivalent of 7.5 GWe in generators proportionately by mass. Not even close. So if you made SMRs like they make Teslas on a big assembly line, there is no way they should cost more than $1k/kwe, any cost above that has to be regulatory flim-flam. Teslas carry far more public risk/danger than any SMR would dream of.
At $1k/kwe SMRs would blow all energy sources into oblivion. The Oil price would drop to $5/bbl and gas to $0.50/mmbtu. No wonder the PTB fear nuclear power so much and use every dirty trick in the book to kneecap it.
People need to just get out of their heads that NPP's are rocket science. They aren't. They are very simple tech compared to what is routinely used today.
With that in mind, all that Scarcity talk of Nate & gang is mute. If you have plentiful energy, you really don't need anything else. You can recycle everything, including water. And just our uranium & thorium resource accessible on the Earth's land mass would power our civilization for a 100Myrs.
But I believe you live in a capitalist democracy a country that’s the leader of the free world, surely you’re not trying to say it’s not working.
Humans cannot creat energy, we’re not even sure where energy comes from, perhaps if we did we could creat it but we don’t. Yes we can transform energy sources into useful forms we can use, but not creat it.
Humanity has and is achieving exponential growth (GDP) purely through the energy minerals it’s found, FINITE Flammable Fossils and radioactive sources are some of those, the most energy dense is Oil, it should be treated as a precious resource, but no, as we can’t burn and use it fast enough even though we know it’s FINITE. We won’t run out of FINITE Flammable Fossils they’ll just become less dense and in areas so difficult to access the energy expended in obtaining them will not be cost effective. When countries of the realise we’re nearing that depletion point we will enter it a death spiral, it’ll be survival of the fittest in the human jungle, and for some chance of survival through “The Great Simplification”- Nate Hagens.
Energy = Labour (Work), Energy = GDP.
“Labour without Energy is a corpse, and Technology without Energy is a sculpture, and a City without Energy is a museum” - S.Keen/N.Hagens🤔
1) It ain't a democracy, it's an oligarchy. And ain't the Free World, not anymore. And capitalist as in crony capitalism, monopoly capitalism, corporate socialism & casino capitalism. One thing it ain't is a Free Market. And no it's not working, except for the corrupt class.
2) Sure we know where energy comes from, it all came from the Big Bang, after that entropy has continuously increased. And what humans use is trivial.
3) Humans have increased exponentially in population & wealth for various periods throughout history, but that stopped ~20yrs ago. We've already passed peak children. And the decline in birthrate has accelerated.
Humanity could increase in population exponentially for a 1000yrs and still be below 20B people at the end of that period.
I don't know what all this "FINITE" crap is all about. Of course it is finite, that's like saying water is wet, everything is finite, space is finite, time is finite, matter is finite. How is that relevant? We could increase our energy consumption by a trillionX and we would still be a long ways from infinite, in fact we would be infinitely less than infinite.
The important point is resource and energy is ample for the foreseeable future, if there is a problem, it is 100% due to mismanagement. Rule by the idiot class. Kakistrocracy.
You need to read economists, Gale Pooley and Marian Tupy:
"...Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley are co-authors of the new book, “Super Abundance”. They sit down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss their studies into overpopulation, the myths surrounding the subject, and how academia has created a new philosophy that demonizes modern man simply for existing.
Marian Tupy is the co-author of “Super Abundance”, as well as “10 Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know” and “The Simon Abundance Index”. He is the current editor of humanprogress.org, and is a senior fellow at the center for global liberty and prosperity.
Gale Pooley is the co-author of “Super Abundance,” and is also an Associate Professor of business management at Brigham Young University in Hawaii. He has taught economics all over the world, and earned his PHD from the University of Idaho. He is also well known for his role in the development of the Simon Abundance Index...'
Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet Hardcover – Aug. 31 2022
by Marian L. Tupy (Author), Gale L. Pooley (Author), & 1 more
"...After analyzing the prices of hundreds of commodities, goods, and services spanning two centuries, Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley found that resources became more abundant as the population grew. That was especially true when they looked at “time prices,” which represent the length of time that people must work to buy something.
To their surprise, the authors also found that resource abundance increased faster than the population―a relationship that they call “superabundance.” On average, every additional human being created more value than he or she consumed. This relationship between population growth and abundance is deeply counterintuitive, yet it is true.
Why? More people produce more ideas, which lead to more inventions. People then test those inventions in the marketplace to separate the useful from the useless. At the end of that process of discovery, people are left with innovations that overcome shortages, spur economic growth, and raise standards of living.
But large populations are not enough to sustain superabundance―just think of the poverty in China and India before their respective economic reforms. To innovate, people must be allowed to think, speak, publish, associate, and disagree. They must be allowed to save, invest, trade, and profit. In a word, they must be free...."
Ask your buddy Nate to have them on his show. Now that would be something.
The 2024 USA’s Presidential election is not that far away, and so for those politically inclined they’ll be able to scream and shout, maybe even let a few rounds of their guns off whilst wearing MAGA baseball caps and tee shirts. For those not American living outside USA it’s going to be an interesting time as we listen and watch USA to see if its citizens really do tear themselves and USA apart, I’m sure the CCP will be watching closely to witness just how democratic and peaceful this Presidential election turns out to be.

We’ve been and are living in the golden age of energy, a period of around 200 years, the next 100 years will witness the decline of the golden age of energy seeing it for what it was a Flammable Fossil (FF) energy pulse. FF’s of Coal, Oil and Gas, free energy, product of sunlight geologically buried over millions of years, but that we are now extracting 10 million times faster than it was sequestered, and we’ve only had to pay to extract, process and transport to point of use.
Virtually everything we see and touch including ourselves is due to FF’s. It’s now possible to take a skin sample and trace the product of our age artificial fertiliser c/o Haber/Bosch, and surprise surprise a product of FF’s. Some alive now will not witness FF’s demise but a child born today most likely will, unless of course it’s true that abiogenic petroleum is continually being produced to meet our ever growing wants and needs.
