Elon agrees:

"Countries should be increasing nuclear power generation! It is insane from a national security standpoint & bad for the environment to shut them down."

That'd be great! Maybe a bit more affordable that way. I saw an article yesterday where someone had a battery replaced and it costed $29,000

Found it:
