> Maybe it won't be in the near future, or even in our lifetime, but there is no way the human race does not turn to nuclear eventually.

We already use nuclear, if you mean fission as a primary energy source…

Batteries don’t consume lithium, battery recycling doesn’t consume lithium, we a literally use the same lithium for hundreds of billions of years. So the only way humans are going to be forced to use nuclear is when the stars die.

I don’t think humans will last that long, but if they do I’m unsure what technology they’ll be using. Theoretically dumping matter into black holes beats nuclear, but who knows.
