Absolutely true. We need to stop shutting our plants coal, nuke, gas, hydro down, and start recovering any we can. Start building new ones ASAP. I don’t give a damn how we generate steam, thorium sounds good. I qualified on a nautilus prototype. I’ve operated S5W,S5G,and BWR plants. Once the steam leaves the boilers, I don’t care. Saturated or superheat, spin the effing turbine. It takes a hell of a lot of water. There’s a reason gators hang out in the Florida nuke plants circ water discharge and why people fish for catfish in the discharge at Arkansas 1. We need to get going and quit backing up. IMO

Then you are actually far more knowledgeable than I am in this area and I just misunderstood you.
