It's about replacing existing means of generation like coal/natural gas and renewables with cheaper and more environmentally friendly options.

You might think that climate change is complete nonsense but there are a lot of powerful people that don't think it's nonsense and they're going to address it one way or the other. I'd prefer they address it in a more practical way that won't cause electricity prices to soar and in a way that doesn't waste global mineral resources on pipe dreams.
Ah yes. The "maybe if we surrender fast enough they will be nice to us" argument. No thanks.
