  > What is it about historic strategic arms limitations treaties that you find so unrealistic exaxtly? Nothing. Just that they’re about arms reduction, not elimination. You’ll still have a military nuclear sector. Also, there is zero chance this makes headway in the near term; we’re in a phase of great power competition. > Vaporware is always competitive with reality We’re dealing with unknowns across the board. For solar and wind, it’s deployment bandwidth and storage. For nuclear, it’s AP100 economies of scale. We aren’t talking SMRs, just as with solar we aren’t talking space-based or whatever.

    >Nothing Then your objections dont make much sense. >We’re dealing with unknowns across the board. With respect to solar and wind the costs and build times are very predictable, actually. We've already had one round of "we can create cheap mini reactors" in the 90s. That vaporware didnt work out so well, but the nuclear-military industrial complex got just as excited about it.
