I am a power engineer I have been falling down the nuclear rabbit hole for the past few months. Energy from fission yields a million times more energy than oil on per unit basis.

This podcast goes over a start up that is trying to scale energy consumption by pairing fission reactors, direct air carbon capture, and efuels. He plans to make hydrocarbon fuel synthetically from carbon dioxide in the air, something that other companies are trying to do unsuccessfully with windmills (windmills are one of the shitcoins of the power industry).
