Holy shit. I kept reading through the article going like, there’s a catch right, there’s a clear tradeoff here right, and it just seems overall better in every way; in safety, sustainability, cost. The only real drawback being not having high enough energy strength for some things yet.
Nuclear energy was always going to be the future. This was clear as far back as the 50s. The math on nuclear energy is just so much more favorable than for any other energy source. It’s only surprising really that it took this long to get safe, portable nuclear batteries. Especially since this is a concept that has been a staple of science fiction for probably longer than any of us have been alive. Perhaps a consequence of the power of the fossil fuel lobby suppressing investment into nuclear research and development?

I could definitely believe it. I don’t know how far their reach is, but I know those fucks have kept the US in the car age for decades, when high speed trains as an alternative are staring them in the face.
