We've been explaining the very straightforward science of climate change for decades now - cult members gonna cult, they're not going to listen to or accept explanations!!!

I'm not what people who bash them call a "liberal", but you should probably block me anyway...

While you're at it - look up the meaning of the word "opinion" - and maybe learn how to make decent pancakes... it IS possible!!!

NO thinking - just check Xitter, fauxnews or any other right-wing-echo-chamber outlet for your marching orders du jour (or du hour, or du minute...), then dutifully, passionately, & condescendingly regurgitate that nonsense as if you know what you're talking about.

They'll likely scale to be drop-in standalone power sources for data centers and remote microgrids - a needed yet relatively small fraction of the transition to electrification!

China was trying to develop an export market for grid scale nuclear reactors & associated components, but market conditions couldn't settle on 1 model to scale to be economically produced.
Each project was bespoke, so no economy of scale could develop to exhibit Wright's law.

As the grid moves away from the baseload paradigm, more solar/wind with storage and HVDC transmission lines (MUCH easier to build than tunnels!) will be big parts of a less centralized grid.

What it's used for doesn't change the economics of making it, nuclear is still a boondoggle whose time has come & gone.
I'm certainly not saying shut them all down right now, that would be stupid, but building new grid scale nuclear is not going to happen.

The more one learns about the realities of nuclear the more clear it becomes that it's not the miracle magic bullet some people want it to be.
