    Place your bets now.

    Time until first power generated, and actual final total cost.

    I’ll go 15 years and $10 Billion.

      what is the timeline and cost for 300 MW of solar plus the battery back up to make it 24/7?

        This reactor isn't going to provide 300 MW 24/7, so why is that a fair benchmark?
