Well, hopefully this will mean jobs will move back from overseas.
that's actually starting to already happen, covid started a large mass reindustrialization of the united states.

Nah, they've already started focusing on other areas like Southeast Asia and I wouldn't be surprised if that expands to wider South Asia; i.e. Pakistan and India. If short term profits is your goal, and that's basically what modern capitalism has become for American businesses, it makes no sense to move back to America in a large scale. You can only fix that via the power of the state, to be blunt.
The price of mexican labor was cheaper and more skilled then chinese labor before covid.
Some jobs are returning home but a lot of stuff done in china is going to be done in mexico now, which has the benifits of lower labor costs, more skill and much lower transprotation costs.
Mexico is another likely place, yes; Southeast Asia though would still be my bet. Tangentially to this, this is why I advocate for a North American Union in part.
Mexico is legit right now in a place and time where they could become a developed rich country with in our lifetimes.
Which in my opnion is about damned time, place deserves to have some fucking luck for a change.
I'd put that under "theoretically possible, but practically near impossible".Mexico is legit right now in a place and time where they could become a developed rich country with in our lifetimes.

Problem is, Green energy is doomed to failure without something like Nuclear energy providing a strong foundation to build off of. It just cannot provide enough energy by itself to support even half of our current needs, which will continue to increase over time.

The fact the U.S. failed to focus on Nuclear Fusion means much of our Government belongs in prison on its own.
Hogwash. Fission was a technology already understood, in use, and able to be used on a continuing and larger scale. Speculation about how long it would take to develop fusion if we'd thrown more money at the problem, especially given how many other things that have had more money thrown at them by the fed and not turned out well, means nothing compared to what we know could have happened if we'd just built more fission plants.
IE, our power grid could be running almost entirely off of nuclear by the 90's, drastically dropping the use of oil and coal in power plants.
that is all litterally due to the environmentalists....
Yes. Yes it was. And I fully expect that if we ever get economical fusion, they will suddenly discover that it isn't clean or safe either, and we need some other pie-in-the-sky unworkable 'green' technology to replace our entire electricity grid.

There's a lot I could quibble with here, but I'm going to refrain because I agree in general with what you're saying here but also because it dovetails exactly with the point I'm making. We can, in theory, give the U.S. Government a pass on not developing Fusion-but no such excuse exists for fission when, back in the 1960s, we were testing MSRs. That we had a proven technology which could've changed everything and they failed to develop is exactly the sort of point I was making with regards to the wider issue of fusion.
I don't care whether its Fusion or MSRs (Although Fusion is better), the failure to develop either is an indictment.
What the fuck is that map projection?
