I think the “problem” with nuclear power and bitcoin is that Bitcoin sets the risk free rate for discounting future cashflows very high. And nuclear requires a lot of capital upfront with a long tail of cashflows into the future.

Bitcoin is more likely to thrive with natural gas power generation for the foreseeable future (while methane is very cheap, relatively).

I agree nuclear is superior to wind/solar/hydro but I just don’t think the economics justify building out nuclear while Bitcoin is still being adopted and achieving CAGRs 20%+ annually.
