@corsac I'd rather have a hundred local fires where lithium batteries burn indistinguishably, than one more Fukushima.
That, however, is irrelevant since we cannot install enough nuclear power in time anyway. Building a NPP from scratch takes 20 years nowadays. Until we will have increased the current amount of installed nuclear power by a significant factor (thereby increasing the chance of another disastrous incident, BTW), it will be too late to avert the catastrophe we are heading into.

@sbi except it’s not an either: nuclear power and batteries don't really play the same role in the grid, are they? Anyway I wasn’t trying to convince you, and if we’re on the "what I prefer" trend we’re out of the engineering thread and I don’t think arguing there makes much sense.
