The energy payback period of a nuclear giga plant is weeks. The more developed the civilisation the more energy it uses. The great leaps forward in human technology have come about by discovering sources of energy that are orders of magnitude more energy dense (wood to coal, coal to oil, oil to nuclear fission, then maybe fission to fusion). Renewables are very energy diffuse and are a backward step. Human fluorishing in the future is dependent on going big on nuclear.
