"generated electricity is now a flop on two planets"

Isn't the solar powered Opportunity Rover still operating after so many years?

I'm not against any of these technologies (nuclear, solar, etc.) as long they do the job they are intended to do, efficiently. It seems that Opportunity met its goals and then some, along with its sister Rover.

WRT, the social dynamics for job creation vis a vis automation that's a much more complicated story. I'm not sure that automation in itself takes away jobs over the long term. With the right policies it could engender new opportunities for job creation. This is a societal question and this forum may not be the best venue to address it in. Not that I have any answers for it.
