Oil, Gas, and Coal are on path to near irrelavancy within 25 years max. The plants will be shrink wrapped and preserved for any future need, with a few left running as research labs. Simply because Solar, Wind, and Nuke are taking over, no one wants the soot and carbon in the atmosphere, no one wants the external geopolitical dependencies,
nuke is worse than oil and has the same 'geopolitical dependencies'.
and no one wants to bet on shit that will run out. Especially when an equivalent investment is essentially clean, cheap, and free, forever. Solar has reached an efficiency now where it pays to build the giant fabs and literally start printing energy for free from sand.
"print energy for free" is obvious nonsense. Have you bothered looking at the real numbers? Amount of energy that reaches a particular place, efficiency and COST of the system to collect it?
