Very interesting! It could be part of a global effort to reduce CO2. I don't believe we will ever fully get rid of fossil fuels since turbines and solar panels aren't perfect either in terms of production cost and recycling (not only price, but also environmental cost).
Fusion is an interesting idea, but still so far ahead of us.
I actually believe in a future in nuclear energy. Technology has advanced so much in that field, but people still have an idea of nuclear energy as it was 50 years ago. The CO2 production is zero and there is so much potential.
You are very correct, for the time being, we would still have to rely on fossil fuels.
