Replying to Avatar The Nuclear Bitcoiner

Any reactor that has been shut down in the last 15 years citing economic reasons is potentially in play.

Oh no, gas got cheap for a few years so let's just retire GWs of capacity, assuming it won't be needed later.

San Onofre, Vermont Yankee, Fort Calhoun, Oyster Creek, Pilgrim, Duane Arnold, Indian Point. Any one of these can be brought back to life, Palisades, and now TMI are already underway.

We have the momentum on our side now. Just a few legacy hangups like the the Linear No Threshold theory that lacks evidence, yet underpins all nuclear safety policy, to re-evaluate and we can shed some dead weight that has been a massive burden on the advancement of nuclear technology.

Gradually, then Suddenly, the nuclear renaissance is upon us.

Dang, I thought it was just palisades and Duane Arnold left.

It really seems like mag 7 wants the nuclear baseload strategy, even though some bitcoin miners have a dream that they will land these contracts. Nothing beats nuclear!

Miners should building relationships with all the SMR startups and the national labs where the research hybrid energy system models anchored by SMRs. That's where we can have an impact this early in the game. As the tech matures they are far more familiar to each other.
