According to an AI I just queried, there is enough nuclear material already mined to power the whole world for at least several hundred years, if the infrastructure was built to use it. Since it doesn't produce much carbon, it would help with global warming too. It's a shame they don't use it more often. It's one of the safest forms of energy production statistically. I like the idea of small modular reactors.

And we need sustainable power for everything, including transportation, manufacturing, medicine, food production, security, heating and cooling, life. Our power needs are not only due to data centers, crypto-mining, and AI. The distributed small modular reactors are included in the Department of Energy government web site. This is not a peripheral concept. It is viable and sustainable.
