I like molten-salt reactors, but they still depend on steam turbines†and cooling systems to convert the heat into useful energy. So they don't help to solve the fundamental cost problem Epistasis identified: although they might reduce the gap between high nuclear-plant cost and low coal-plant cost, but they won't cross the Rubicon to even lower solar-plant cost.
