    The problem is that people like you believe that nuclear power has some kind of singular position among all the things made by man in that it can turn economics of scale on it’s head.

    So far there is not a single one of these magical machines in operation, and 36 months from now there either still won’t be one (like with most nuclear power projects of the last decades) or it will be far more expensive per kWh than the classic models (which already produce the most expensive power and only make sense if you want to perpetuate the know how for a nuclear weapons program or slow down the development of renewables + storage which actually are an economically viable path to net 0).
