    Energy storage is the issue. You still need to power the hospitals and refrigerators when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. Ideally we'd use less energy, but you still need to have *some* energy all the time. We don't have the battery technology to do that with wind and solar.

        So, go almost all the way to building a 4th gen reactor, and repurpose it as a battery?

        Sounds... Not bright.
