i just dont buy it. hypothetically, there is a nuclear power plant design that is perfectly safe in that it will never melt down. but there is no nuclear power plant that produces …

"you could buy electricity for around 2.5 cents per kilowatt." this is a typo. they meant 2.5 cents per kilowatt hour. i think its really interesting that elon musk has changed his…
