Solar and wind could be free and they would still suck compared to Gen IV nuclear. Unless you only want to watch TV when the wind is blowing (I exaggerate for humorous intent). But in any event, I'm sure you numbers are wrong. Must be forgetting govt subsidies?

Scott on youtube now saying Trump solved climate change with Gen IV nuclear. Staggering naivety from a smart guy.

Okay, genius, let me know what I got wrong. I await your brilliance.

The fundamentals inc complex expensive technology producing dangerous waste that lays around for tens of thousands of yrs. In contrast, solar/wind has been a huge success story in the past 10yrs.

Granted wind/solar do have an intermittency problem with no easy solution. But nuclear is a long shot solution.

Smartgrid that moves renewable energy over long distances a solution worth looking at. HDVC line losses only about 3% over long distance.

Gen IV plants eat nuclear waste for fuel. Any waste left over lasts only a few hundred years. Solar/wind's other problem is economics: low ratio of energy to land area = huge recurring maintenance costs.

Not so. Only nat gas is now competitive with wind & solar. Look at the latest big tender auction wins in Chile & Dubai. http://www.industryandbusiness.ie/600-million-chilean-contract-for-eddie-oconnors-aela/ …

Until Gen IV is standardized and mass produced. Which seems certain. Then it is no contest. You seem under-informed.

Re:; standardized and mass produced' - what assumptions are you making here? How well do you know this technology?

I am repeating the assumptions of the experts in that field. The tech is intended for standardization and mass production. The biggest problem with prior tech is that each one was its own design.

France went down the standardization & mass production route as far back as the 70's.
