I just love it when an article repeats itself.

That nuclear plant looks like a coal fired generation plant
This a ploy to force the wider adoption of both solar and wind power generation - both of which are notoriously unreliable and often must be located far from the actual point of use. What happens, for every kW of expected power supply from these sources, an equal or greater supply has to come from “back-up” or “auxiliary” power generation from natural gas-fired power plants, whether a conventional steam-generated system that drives the dynamos, or a gas turbine that turns the dynamos directly.
While the steam plant can provide a baseline power supply, the gas turbine plants can spool up within a very short time as power demands increase beyond the baseline, or when the alternative energy sources fail, as must happen at night, or when the wind stops blowing.
We have the technology to introduce Thorium-fueled Molten Salt reactors as the primary and base-line power sources, and without the long-term spent fuel storage problems of Uranium-fueled Light Water reactors, which also have radiation leakage and “China syndrome” as additional engineering problems.
We can do this, but at the moment there is no will nor economic incentive to do so. Can’t make plutonium bombs out of the spent fuel from a thorium plant.
These thorium plants have the added advantage of being able to use the “spent” fuel rods now in long-term storage as the seeding necessary to initiate the reaction within the thorium pile. This way, these “spent” rods are used up centuries before they finish up their remaining half-life of radioactive decay, making it unnecessary to maintain a safe storage for some 25,000 years.
I see a LOT of “win-win” here.
Millennial hipsters all want their electric cars, but don’t want any new power generation built.
Truthfully, not even do called “renewable energy” sources because they “block nature’s beauty”.
Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1883 - 1950) was an economist and one of the 20th century's greatest intellectuals. He is best known for his 1942 book “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy,” as well as the theory of dynamic economic growth known as “creative destruction.”

Hmmm...That can't be an Ayn Rand image at Google...
If something’s worth saying, it’s worth saying twice.
