Nuke didn't work out for my area at all. Now we are paying for decommissioning and waste fuel rod storage costs. Not sure how well the proposed new design will work out either until they try a few and see what the actual cost is. Nuke with sodium is "safe" needs proving and sustainability of that design and operation of it depends on successful recycling or we end up with the same storage problem. Lot of ifs. Fossil fuel may be around for a while but the economics goes away faster.

Space X is not carbon neutral. I’m curious if buying Solar City comes anywhere near the carbon cost of rocket launches.
