How many Apollo V rockets did we build for all that dough? It would take many trillions
of dollars to retool our energy systems; again there is no comparison between the
moonshot Cold War race and deploying a radically different electric energy generation
infrastructure.
Except nuclear power is not radically different, it's just using a different heat source
to make steam for turbines. The infrastructure is essentially the same.
