I just wish he would push Thorium Salt reactors so that the Chinese don’t leapfrog us on that bit of tech.

Yes, agree 100%

Needs to be a "both/and" approach, not "either/or".

Thorium would be good. A new revival of nuclear power with modern reactor designs would be great news.

It takes a lot of labor to build them and skilled workers to run them. Driving electricity prices down would grease the skids for an electric vehicle boom, should the market move in that direction.

Lower energy prices will also lessen the burden on businesses since the costs to literally “keep the lights on” will be lower.

TransAtomic Power - molten salt reactors.

Saw a presentation of theirs the other day and it was quite impressive.

I thought I read some time back before the election that the Chinese had managed to sustain a contained thermonuclear reaction (aka reactor) for some considerable time.

And that is not the tech to let them leap ahead with.
