Why nuclear energy is no panacea for civilizational decline

It makes no sense to list all the other drawbacks of nuclear at this point. The gap in scale between fossil fuels and nuclear is so big, that even if we had all the Uranium fuel in the Universe, it would be extremely difficult to replace a fossil fuel infrastructure with an entirely new one built around nuclear energy in such a short period of time.

But the fact remains: neither Musk's extraordinary efforts to cut waste and fraud, nor Trump's efforts to cut trade deficits and boost revenues by imposing tariffs, and certainly not the plan to cut $1.5 trillion in spending while authorizing $4 trillion in new borrowing currently winding its way through the various committees in the US House of Representatives, are likely to materially affect the eventual outcome when financial panic finally arrives.
