Yes we should have, now it’s too late to include them in significant amounts. Thanks for recognising we can’t replace fossil fuels with much nuclear power 😊

Oh, they're coming. How do you think the west coast is going to have to deal with their water problem? Nuclear power and desalination.

😂 you think people will pay multiple times what they need and wait years longer to power desalination plants 😂 You can just build a solar farm and solar thermal storage AND you use the concentrated salts leftover for the solar thermal.

People don’t spend extra money for zero benefit buddy
