What Isaiah Taylor says most about

nuclear power 14

Fission will make energy a thousand times cheaper than it is today; the only open question is whether that takes decades or centuries.
Most nuclear companies will not have this solved by 2031, and many still will not by 2035, because they have the wrong mindset.
