Well what if we had committed to solar and wind in the 1950s as opposed to the 1990s? Certainly wind would have been viable at its current price points 40 year

Well what if we had committed to solar and wind in the 1950s as opposed to the 1990s? Certainly wind would have been viable at its current price points 40 years earlier than we have it now. I do think there does exist a world where nuclear power is competitive, but I don't think it involved solid fuel rods and pressurized water and gigantic domes. There probably is a MSR design out there that could probably compete but we would have had to have started funding that back in the '60s and '70s. We went solid fuel rod in the '60s and that kind of was it. I don't think solid fuel rod can be competitive no matter what regulatory environment
