I have hope, because perception starts with you and I. Changing people’s opinions one person at a time is possible. I was firmly in the EV’s are toys two or so years ago and one man writing articles breaking down how an EV actually works in a non biased and scientific way changed my mind on that. I firmly believe they are the way forward now.Sadly the fusion announcement is a tad misleading. The reaction generated more energy than the laser output, which is a nice achievement. But the lasers required vastly more input power to generate the beams. So it wasn't truly a net positive from a system level input/output perspective.
I'm also on the side of switching fossil fuel to fission before we reach fusion. Most hurdles are regulatory and public perception. And sadly it seems regulatory is pushed by public perception, and with the current public, I have no hope.
If my perception on that can change so can others on nuclear.
