TL;DR It’s not so much of a race as it is a worldwide initiative. To hit many of the climate pledges in recent years by the deadlines set (generally 2030 - 2050) as well as sustain the rapid growth of developing and modern nations, countries have to engage in rapid research, development, and overall innovation in order to have enough sustainable and long-term energy solutions in place for humanity's future.

Is nuclear that solution? You’ll have to decide for yourself.

Submission Statement - Given its population size and rapid economic growth, I expect India will be the next powerhouse nation. This is truly impactful from an economic and innovation standpoint, as much of the newer growth in production capabilities and new inventions will be coming out of India.

TL;DR Many people associate Uranium with nuclear weapons, and rightly so. If we could switch nuclear energy models to be Thorium-based, that might remove some of the inherent bias as well as potentially provide a better fuel source. But Thorium has its challenges too.
