Its not expensive. The US is racking up tens of trillion in debt. nuclearizing the whole country would have cost a fraction of that

  "It's cheaper than the national debt!" is damning with faint praise.

    no its not
    • pfdietz 5y ago
      Yes, it is. It's an extremely weak statement in support of the idea. In particular, it doesn't argue that it is cheaper than alternatives. If that's the best you can come up with, the idea is unsupportable.

        It can provide an incredible amount of green base load energy. what else can?
        • pfdietz 5y ago
          Renewables, when paired with storage, can also supply baseload. And they can likely do it cheaper than nuclear, without proliferation concerns, and without running out of uranium.
