  1. Nuclear fusion is hard. Nuclear fission is easy. Both need radiation shielding and other safety measures but the latter is cheap. Fast spectrum molten salt nuclear is intrinsically safe. It removes all of the inherent hazards caused by any other technology. That makes it cheap. The fast spectrum means no long term waste. Everything gets burnt.

  2. Separating heavy hydrogen isotopes from water is an enormous task that demands huge energy. All that has to be deducted from any energy created by the fusion plants. Now add the enormous power needed to contain the high temperature plasma and there’s a net output of nothing.
