Seems fine to me. I already have nuclear irradiated genes, I'm sterile, and I prefer nature for company over human beings.
(If you were sarcastically implying that no one would volunteer, you are mistaken. I encourage making your point more clearly and with less sarcasm, since a worthwhile discussion is possible if you do so.)

I was a bit sarcastic, but the effects on real estate values alone prevent many from wanting to live near a plant.
The sarcasm came from the crypto part. The idea that swaths of US land would be devalued for the latest crypto pump and dump project makes me laugh and die inside.
I mean Solana is actually pretty cool. But all other crypto projects of which I am aware do not add value to our species as a whole. So adding nuclear power to the mix, for which the total cost of ownership is not even calculable? Just wow.

So what you're really saying between the lines, is that nuclear power will lead to affordable housing?

Wait, so you mean we’re solving housing prices too?!! :-)

Totally with you on that “die inside” part for sure!

I would like to add that I do take your point on sarcasm. Thank you.
Any volunteers for living in the exclusion zones?
