Well, we'll have to look at the cost benefit analysis. It should be done if it makes sense.

Would it be more economically feasible to invest the money into fourth generation nuclear technology and then research solid aluminum batteries that are hot swappable? That would cut down on costs for copper or steel for electrification.

"Enormous effort" and "it should be done" without an economic analysis is generally ill thought out.
