Would this be enough to light and power a large cave, like Carlsbad Caverns?
I get your nuclear war survivalist joke.
But on a serious note. Nuclear power has always been the most “environmental,” which is ironic seeing how the left and greeny folks fear and loath this source of power.
***IF we derived most our power today from this source, the so called green car (coal and gas powered today) really would be green.
Sovereign, cheap, reliable, scalable, long lasting, small footprint, and best of all clean: no H2SO4, HNO3, coal distillates like toluene, xylene, benzene... No massive sludge, no massive mining, no massive refining, logistics, noise, soot...
Nuclear power is held back by an ignorant people and political so called “leaders” that pander to this ignorance. Is there a threat, of course there is. But in the sum of all factors, nuclear power is still by an order of magnitude cleaner and safer than fossil fuels, while being cheaper, more scalable and reliable than all so called green power sources.
Nuclear power truly is the solution.
Once you switch to nuclear, then you push everything possible (where feasible) to electric and fossil fuels are merely used where there is no practical alternative say air travel.
