It won’t have been long for a long time now. It’s not a feasible concept to rely on a maybe. We need massive amounts of clean energy now and the way to do that now is water, wind and solar. If these wonder reactors are one day reality that’s great.
France is a good example. They invest billions in their nuclear power. Still, their infrastructure is old and they can’t seem to build new reactors. It’s a money sink while “dumb renewables” are the cheapest most spammable energy source we ever had.

The problem is that instead of investing into dumb renewables, we should’ve invested in nuclear decades ago. Now we have to play catch up.
