[[These will produce electricity at half to 1/4 or less the cost of current cheapest coal based electricity]]
Why aren’t htere such reactors producing the nation’s electricity? Dear leader whines about lowering our dependence on fossil fuels, and then doesn’t pursue a system that can cut the usage in half? Are we producing these reacotrs? Is congress stifling the production of these plants liek htey do with oil refineries to keep the price of domestic oil artificially high?
Oh yeah- I forgot- the dear leader’s ideology is to raise energy prices to thep oint where peopel are forced to stop using it just liek they did with cigarette taxes and soon with gasoline taxes-
There was also a big push on not long ago to use geothermal steam to power electric grids- I wonderr if that ever got started? or if that too was squashed by big govenremnt because it was prmkossing to be too effective at cutting costs?
