China is increasing its spending in molten salt reactors; they are NOT pulling back. And not all designs have to be expensive. Turns out smaller can be dramatically better: https://www.forbes.com/sites/llewellynking/2020/10/13/new-design-molten-salt-reactor-is-cheaper-to-run-consumes-nuclear-waste/?sh=5057fc5533c6 https://www.forbes.com/sites/llewellynking/2020/10/13/new-de... Lots of smaller distributed generation sources closer to the points of consumption also help with complexities (and fragilities!) in the electrical grid. Also solves the issues around transmission loss as well. Solar and wind are not going to undercut costs any time soon. For every current nuclear plant that gets taken offline, the bulk of the load is made up for with fossil fuel generation. If solar and wind were as awesome as you are convinced, then why aren't they picking up the slack? Until we come up with something far better than current battery technology for energy storage, solar and wind will never be more than a niche solution. The disproportionate amount of money being dumped into them is downright criminal when proven technology such as molten salt reactors is overlooked for either political or emotional reasons.
