I have harped on this before. Say you have a million dollars. It's not hard to spend that on solar so that you have a million dollars of productive capacity.

I have harped on this before. Say you have a million dollars. It's not hard to spend that on solar so that you have a million dollars of productive capacity. If you spend it on a nuclear plant, you have a deposit on a feasibility study. Fossil seems in the middle; it has a bit of a cheat advantage since backend cleanup costs do not seem to be fully funded. I never knew the term 'overnight cost' until I read the _Construction Physics_ blog, but I will crow that I had thought about the notion. Short turnaround from pennies to production seems to be a killer advantage.
