Help me understand: isn’t solar a dead end? The sun doesn’t always shine, we need to 10,000x our battery capacity to run the world on solar, and we’d be strip mining the Earth for those battery metals. Nuclear is the only way. Obsession with solar only furthers oil (see Germany).

Solar is not a dead end, no. We need a diverse basket of energy generation and localised energy generation is crucial for independence. We do not need batteries to get the value out of solar, it is very cost effective without them. The truth is we need a bit of everything and the more energy generation the merrier.
