dollar cost is not as important as the time it takes to get to first watt, since the only reasonable alternative to fission base load generators is fusion... if you can build these in 12 months instead of 12 years, you'll find yourself unable to meet demand.

Everyone keeps talking about fusion, am I out of the loop or something? It’s not a proven tech, why is it being brought up?

It's a meme technology. It's well-known for its well-known-ness.
