I got some fossilized shark teeth out of the creek in back of the house.

ANyhow, nuclear power can do it, but you have to rebuild the plant every
50 years or so.
	corrosion
	steel imbrittlement caused by high radiation - radiation causes voids
in the steel long term, steel loses strength

same with the  other power sources, including renuables, they only last
30 years or so.  Our environment of water vapor is corrosive long term.
US Gov has a webpage on lifetime of different power sources.

I had a solar panel, but what brought it down was water vapor intrusion
through  a seal,  the seals dont last 30 years or more...
