This take is so incredibly ignorant of history and reality I can’t even…

They’re not organic, and pumped full of plastics and preservatives
Habit started out so good and now it tastes like ‘optimized supply chains’ like all the other shit places.
She happened to be at a table with a world leader at a large event. Guess who else has been at a table with Putin? Most recent US presidents and countless other politicians.
It means get off your lazy ass and quit that dead end job. Start your own business selling chia underwear. You can’t afford the startup costs? Just get a couple mil loan from your dad.
I want everything to be toggle switches. If I could get a keyboard made of 105 classic toggle switches it would be worth the effort to type with it.
Tax prep software companies and tax prep services in general.
It smells and feels awful, though.
How about having fewer kids? By definition nothing can be sustainable if population keeps growing.
You could build an entirely new solar, wind, and battery supply chain from the mines to the factories in a quarter of the time it takes to build a single nuclear plant.
Except throughout the history of nuclear power it has always gotten more expensive, regardless of time period, learning curve, adoption curve, or any other variable you care to consider. Solar, wind, and batteries have always gotten cheaper and continue to do so.
Battery storage is already cheaper than nuclear.
oyo
You can build entirely new solar supply chains from mining through manufacturing faster than a single new nuclear plant.
The fact that you are even considering CSP shows you know nothing about the current state of renewables. What’s more likely is you’re parroting or copy-pasting some bullshit talking points from a right wing think tank. Nukes have ALWAYS gotten more expensive. I’m waiting for any production plant SMR, MSR whatever to buck this trend but it hasn’t happened.
The nameplate cost of this plant is $32 per watt. Even at smaller scales, utility-scale solar plants are $1 per watt. Do you know how many grid storage batteries you could buy with the extra $31 per watt? (6 hour storage is around $2.50 per watt or $.40/Wh.) You could build a solar plant 4x the nameplate capacity of the nuke (in order to match the capacity factor), and add 24 hours of storage to make it fully dispatchable, and still have enough money left over to build 2 more of the same thing. This doesn’t even include the fact the nuclear has fuel costs, waste disposal, higher continued operational costs, and unaccounted publicly involuntarily subsidized disaster insurance.
How does 16, 14, or 12 AWG tell you anything about ampacity?
