"Decades" is an extreme POV. Big tech companies are actively investing into nuclear power. Unlike those green renewables you described, nuclear runs almost nonstop. At least 90%+ of the time! Let's not forget about China, who can do it faster and cheaper compared to western standards.

Obviously short term we'll be forced to use gas, renewables, etc. But saying nuclear will be irrelevant is wrong.. Reliable 24/7 clean power without the need for massive amounts of batteries or land is ideal.

It's not clean though? It requires massive amounts of mining and refining to even get the fuel, and it's no more renewable than fossiles

It requires least amount of mining vs alternatives, where did you get this weird false narrative https://ourworldindata.org/low-carbon-technologies-need-far-... ?

If you include Uranium in the oceans, we have about 4.5 billion years of fuel.

It's no less renewable than the Sun.

In general, “clean” as in zero carbon and air pollution
