Only LOW COST nuclear power will impact our future.

Article has good insights into the practicality of dual AP1000 nuclear power plants at existing plant sites but not much optimism on cost. I'm a co-founder of Thorcon, developing molten salt reactor power plants for Indonesia and SE Asia markets. The rich tech firms don't have the same incentive we do -- energy cheaper than from coal. This essay explains the importance of LOW COST CO2-emission-free, 24x7 power and describes our design choices to generate electricity cheaper than from burning coal or LNG. https://mailchi.mp/86906e15dcd6/only-low-cost-nuclear-power-will-impact-our-future?e=0bd4c20197 Visit thorconpower.com for more.

This is an interesting article, but if the goal is fast construction of cheap, low-carbon electricity generation in North America, Combined Cycle Gas Turbines are by far the best option.
