    A thousand years is a massive over-estimate. Providing the 6TW or so of final energy with the stuff assumed to exist that’s vaguely accessible for costs that don’t exceed renewables’ total cost is well under a decade.

    No breeding program has ever done a full closed cycle and even if it were to happen, the currently proposed technologies only yield about 50 years.
