National policy doesn't matter either, only international policy, which is infeasible.

Policy does not matter. Economics matter. The cheapest energy sources will be used. Solar and wind. Batteries getting cheaper all the time. Cultured meat. These economic forces are unstoppable.

Might be something to cultured meat, but we’re not gonna have viable battery storage tech for a 100% nuclear grid in time to decarbonize as much as we need.

1/ Forget nuclear. Decentralize solutions using the newest and cheapest technology are what propagate to the third world. For example, cell phones vs land lines. Solar power is decentralized, battery technology will be driven by electric vehicles in the first world.
-
2/ Soon enough you'll have solar panels with built in storage, so a complete electric production and storage solution in one package. This is how electric power will be rolled out in most 3rd world rural areas, i.e. Africa. Power plants are just too expensive.
-
3/ Nuclear fusion may fuel first world extra terrestrial adventures in the not too distant future, but expensive old nuclear fission is on its way out.

Fission is horribly expensive and we have not been able to solve the (political) problem of waste disposal. Fukushima is a waste disposal disaster. The US built Yucca Mt and is not using it. Pathetic, expensive boondoggle all around. Dead.
