Jason nodded slightly. "That makes sense."
With the recent advancements in fast breeder reactors, they weren't just relying on trace amounts of Uranium-235; they could now utilize the far more abundant Uranium-238. Therefore, energy scarcity wasn't an immediate crisis.
However, a lack of foresight inevitably leads to future disasters. As their industrial infrastructure expanded, their power consumption would skyrocket exponentially. Advanced materials manufacturing, in particular, required astronomical amounts of electricity. With that in mind, developing new energy sources had to become a top priority.
Jason asked, "What kind of energy source do you think is the most viable for development here?"
William thought for a moment before answering directly. "I have two primary options in mind. First, we harness geothermal energy for large-scale power generation. Second, we extract solid methane from the polar regions, which serves as a highly efficient fossil fuel!"
