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

    Not true. Google bought seven SMRs for their AI farms.

    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.

    To be fair, that’s how they became billionaires in the first place.

      Exactly

      Billionaires have tons of influence on information with their ability to easily manipulate bots and algorithms. I don’t want to see any pro-nuclear stuff online without a trustworthy price tag.
