Yeah, in a saner and safer world, we'd have little nuclear powers plants running a lot of things.

If we can generate clean hydrogen I think an awful lot of things that are not easily converted to battery will get a lot cleaner, I think it's being looked at as a replacement for coal in steel production. I think we're still some years away from that unfortunately, last estimate I saw was about a decade, but fingers crossed we get there earlier.

As you say, making doing the right thing cheaper than doing the wrong is the way we solve so many of these problems. Unfortunately we also need to get to the point where it's cheaper to scrap the old kit and replace it, than not, which may take longer.
