I’m not sure how heat pumps and batteries “ensure power”. Building far more nuclear would create green jobs, high paying jobs, and ensure widespread power, but the current trend is to close nuclear power plants and burn natural gas instead.

If you're willing to put down 10-30k USD on solar and batteries, you can probably cut the cable.

At least most of the year, depending on where you live.

Yes, nuclear would be great, but the time to make that decision was 20 years ago.
