Again, how much is that? Nuclear is not feasible unless cost can go down by a massive amount. No amount of massive text walls will convince people that multiplying their electric bill is a good idea.

Maybe AI companies can pay for those nuclear power plants. They’re the ones wasting all our power and water on stupid shit.

Costs are inflated on purporse

Can be easily proven by someone with enough money to build one. None of the billionaires seem to lining up to build one with their own money.

Do not mistake the opportunity cost for inviability. Billionaires are not lining up to build one with their money may be a fact (I don't know), but even if it is, it is entirely possible that the rate of return is just too low for them to consider investing in. Why make 3% EV YoY when you could get 5% EV YoU? Almost double the rate of return!

Not so easily proven.
