It isn't about Climate 2, it is about how much electricity the USA uses. Here's a snippet:

Divide 3.9 billion by 365 gives about 10.7 million megawatts hours per day. How much per hour?
About 450k megawatts hours per hour. A gigawatt-hr is 1000 megawatt-hr. About 450 gigawatt-hr per hr. That means about 450 gigawatt-hr size plants could serve the USA. A little over 1 gigawatt-hr per million citizens.
What does all that mean? In order to replace all the coal-fired plants with molten-salt reactors, you'd spend maybe half-trillion. That puts the ridiculous rhetoric of the thought-challenged Democrats into perspective.
Incidentally, that is the DEVELOPMENT price of just one molten-salt reactor. Once developed, they will be a lot cheaper.
But we don't need to spend anything at all since there is no AGW.
