We need all the green we can get
This means we MUST mine our own thorium for advanced nuclear like LFTR, for lithium for the best EV battery, the LiFePO4 (not li-ion) and even for metals for concentrated solar thermal, concentrated GaAS Fresnel arrays (twice as efficient than silicon) and so on.
We all MUST promote these as I want my kids to be able to drive when (gasoline is too expensive)!
