    That and solar. Have a few Small modular reactors. I think the other thing is energy storage. Batteries are heavy and wear out. Would be nice to have something that can be used long term.

      I would bet that one of the long-term solutions are gonna be locally produced (that is, on the moon) kinetic storage devices like flywheels and weight shafts. You can store a shocking amount of energy in a big old rock lifted up on a cable by a couple hundred meters.
