    I see what you’re saying but the only tangible reply is: perfection is the enemy of good.

    If we get to a point where half the world is doing this while falling back to fossil in emergencies, while the other half has a 100% success rate with nuclear, then the case is clear.

    But that’s not where we are and this, on its own terms, is a step away from fossil fuels as a primary solution, which is progress.
