1. One thing people fail to consider is how production scaling works in an undertaking of this magnitude. There are national/global supply chain limits, and finite people with expertise in a given field, both issues that money cannot solve. Think war-time rationing. We absolutely cannot build enough solar/wind power in time. Nuclear has to be a part of the solution. As to the time delays, those are bureaucratic, not technical, which means they are solved by simply deciding as a nation to do so. (The bureaucratic delays would apply to wind as well, due to not-in-my-backyard syndrome, and dont-murder-birds-with-windmills environmentalist.)

2. This video is a pro nuclear propaganda piece, complete with lots of deception and fake facts.

3. So, you picked one nuclear start-up that went out of business and another one that halted operations over a temporary trade dispute and not one that's making progress like NuScale that's further along than any other of the new nuclear companies?!? You need to do a better job hiding your bias and pretending to not slant your coverage.

4. Both renewables and nuclear need to be used. All hands on deck.

5. The interviewees are unaware that ThorCon has a complete basic design for its shipyard-produced liquid fission power plant to generate clean, reliable energy cheaper than coal. Status is "go". Check out thorconpower.com or thorconpower.com/impact

6. Too bad you didn't mention energy efficiency investments, which are critical to any low carbon energy grid we build with any mix of fossil and renewables. In addition to greatly reducing demand for new generation sources, it is typically the cheapest investment we can make: it's always cheaper to save a kilowatt than to produce it.

7. Please, no distractions with any form of new nuclear. I accept the risk of keeping existing reactors online while we pivot to renewables but once we're there, we need to shut them down. The $ that goes into them is simply not a good use. We need as much decentralized power generation as possible along with the house-by-house, building-by-building retrofitting install and maint jobs.

8. Why don’t these egghead scientists have any common sense?

9. Why don't you go perpetual energy source for our environmental issues.

10. Interesting. So then how do we deal with the need for dispatchable/spinning reserves in the mix with renewables?

11. N O N U K E S

12. This Stanford guy is my pic for Bernie's energy secretary.

13. When I saw that title I thought AOC wanted us to replace our nuclear arsenal with more eco-friendly weapons of mass destruction.

14. Transatomic Power were using the molten salt reactor developed way back in the 80s as the basis- this has also been developed into GE-Hitachi PRISM, and it is old technology dating back 50 years with inherent problems- molten salt is problematic, I believe new start up companies were looking to solve the problems in materials engineering.
    Wind, solar and now batteries can be rolled out from a factory in GWs, meaning the solution is available now at least for the first 80% of power replacement- nuclear has another 30 years to catch up but it does need government finance.
