Gates and Buffett to create a new kind of nuclear reactor in Wyoming -- they purposefully say "Natrium" instead of Sodium for some reason (www.theguardian.com)

Electric cars are actually worse for the environment. How many more emissions are used in making brand new car manufacture. Rather than in the previous vehicles already manufactured and in use. It will take at least 3 generations of EVs to pay off that debt. Which they won't because they break quicker. Where does the energy come from. Many are still using coal power. Solar and wind need even more costs for the greater demand of even more energy being used, neither are environmental. Ewaste isn't being recycled according to the increasing demand we have already changed epochs from it. Panels contain acids lead and plastic forgetting the battery. Turbines are made from carbon fibre. Regardless, how long do EVs last. The battery lasts about 7 years. Electricity is the first product to break in every car. Most people can't repair those parts. Costing even more services and lessening lifetimes. Every product used creating more emissions to reproduce. Unlike previous gas cars averaging much longer lifetimes for every part. EVs don't recycle like gas cars they are largely ewaste. Their batteries are also much worse environmentally for recycling.

But we are talking about your bullshit, the turbine is a vent. It has hot and cooled processes requiring water. It is a resource being depleted. If it isn't full of the production. Like nuclear water.

Aside from the run off of the constant resources needed to create its energy.

No. MSRs are self contained.

Aside from the run off

What "run off"? You mean like the diesel required to ship materials?

The nuclear waste. It is a nuclear reactor we were talking about one stage of its production where it still enriches uranium and also creates nuclear fuel.

Outside of it also storing the excess heat.

where it still enriches uranium

Uranium isn't enriched by using it as fuel, and I thought we were talking about molten salts.

Stop it. It is a nuclear reactor. It still functions as a reactor. Creating enriched uranium and nuclear fuel. Plutonium natrium reactors are going to possibly be built later, after this experimental reactor functions, without it turning Wyoming into a desert first. With a plutonium reactor it would have even more run off.
