I would have to agree, using the same money to subsidize home solar electricity or water would be a far better spend in my mind. At least that way you get something back from your taxes.

Well that's why I said too early, I think they will be refined in time to the point where they are very effective. But it'll take a lot of time.

A  couple of generations I reckon

3) Honestly, it probably is; Thorium reactors seem to be the new kid on the block though

Yup...also  saying  nuclear plants leaf to explosion is saying cars lead to accidents

If the goal is simply to power the lights then yes, however I'm talking about grid viability which solar doesn't have much given how much it fluctuates and how horrid battery tech is currently.

Use it in correct scenarios...

Okay if solar its not the way for your area don't do it invest on wind or hydra..but do something

The problem is, the fuel required for proper fusion is radioactive, so if there is ever a spill....

Chernobyl...What could go wrong is a warning not aSTOP  sign..

I wouldn't even say it's a great idea to be honest... there have been at least a few videos on why it's a terrible idea.  Solar will likely be a good thing in the future, but never like this  

The Dutch did it and found out that it works
