      What's his opinion of Gen IV nuclear? (I'll bet I know.)

      He thinks solar can power the world (100%) within 20 years. I'm guessing even you don't think GenIV could achieve that.

      I believe solar could do that, and so could wind, but at a cost that is much higher than Gen IV nuclear in the long run. Economics always matter.

      Especially the experience curve (Wright's "Law"), which most economic models ignore.

      Yup. Calculations I've seen (including from people I don't like) have convinced me that the experience curve for GenIV will probably take many decades to reach 100% of demand.

      That feels to me a lot like "there is no way we can solve the Y2K problem on time!" If we build rapid iteration sites, all bets are off.

      The speed of construction is dependent on the size of the emergency. If we need them faster to save the world, we almost certainly can do better.

          No it shouldn't. But look at you: you effectively said it's IMPOSSIBLE for solar to solve the "crisis".

          Within limits. I'd guess 2-3 years from starting construction to ready for things to go wrong to learn from. The more you build, the sooner (statistically) black swans will crawl out of the woodwork, but the more expensive it will be to retrofit existing plants for the new prob.

          #GreenNewDeal My understanding is: Reactors are small 100MW (powers 1 small town/desalinization plant/etc) constructed in central secure location. Trucked/Train to site. 20-30 year life. Reactor returns to factory for fuel access. Supposedly fuel encased in lead makes secure.

          The key to that is cleaning up the regulations, But I've mentioned some other ways the market for solar (and carbon capture) could be expanded as minimal cost (IMO).https://medium.com/@artkilner/carbon-and-capitalism-44b4c58e7032 …
