Are we actually generating any power with this yet?
It is estimated that there is enough Uranium fuel for an additional 200-400 NPPs This is not really going to make a huge difference. In the time it takes to build a NPP we would do better to be investing in stored power. There are many ideas here and building a variety of them at a small but usable scale would allow us to find which ones are effective and start building some full scale implementations.
Building NPPs will not bring us a fast solution, will be expensive, and distracts us from the actual issues.
There may be some niche places where it works but these are few and far between.
