Too ๐ cheap ๐ to ๐ meter
Given the up-front cost of any kind of reactor, I donโt think the concept of a usage-based electric bill goes away as long as itโs corporations competing for customers. Maybe eventually it would be like ISPs where itโs a flat fee depending on the size of your connection. I guess it could be totally unmetered then.
Like so many things, it gets a lot simpler if itโs the government supplying the service.
More people die from wind turbines and hydro than from nuclear on a per tWh basis. If we actually want to save lives we would require higher levels of safety standards on fossil fuels that are magnitudes more dangerous than nuclear
