      Yes really.

      Molten salt reactors are not significantly cheaper to build own or operate, on the contrary. I’m making an economic argument here.

        If you put economics before the environment then sure, nuclear’s not viable, never was.

        And oil’s only viable because of mass subsidies and tax exemptions.

          Wait what? Surely nuclear gets less viable if you factor in the cost of cleaning up after yourself.

          And oil’s only viable because of mass subsidies and tax exemptions.

          That, and massive externalization.
