You’re the one pushing a technology from the 1950s that has proven to be far riskier than the alternatives.

I suppose that if one’s idea of a power plant is limited to “build engine, attach generator, make both really big”, a nuclear reactor might seem like a good idea. But I’d like to think that we can move beyond pistons and steam turbines.

Or, at least produce the steam with solar.
