50. "Generation IV nuclear-energy technologies that may become operational after about 2030…"

(Sounds like you’re essentially repeating what they wrote.)

I'm not a nuclear fan, but I do tire of the "if it cannot be done today, it cannot be done at all" attitude, toward any solution someone doesn't like. (i.e. If renewable technologies cannot satisfy 100% of our needs tomorrow, they're useless. If nuclear cannot provide 100% of our power tomorrow, it's useless. If fusion isn't available tomorrow, it's useless. If we're not carbon neutral, tomorrow, it's game over for our entire civilization.)

We cannot overhaul our entire society overnight. Any fundamental change we make will be gradual, and we need to start laying the groundwork for that change now. That means deploying renewable technologies today. That means researching future technologies, like fusion (and even Gen IV fission) today.

My hope is that we won't need Gen IV fission reactors, but it sure would be nice to have them in our back pockets if it turns out we do need them.
