I submitted the following comment to CARB on their AB32 scoping plan.
Subject: Incentivize utilities to build an IFR nuclear reactor
The only way to stop climate change is to eliminate coal.
the only way to do that is to prove you can build a power plant that is
cheaper than a coal plant, but with zero emissions.
the only thing that does that is the IFR which was scuttled in 1994 by
Clinton who called it unnecessary.
James Hansen just found out about it and he thinks it is extremely
promising.
GE has a commercial design called the S-PRISM that is ready to be built.
We should build one in California and show the world out of this mess.

It's an amazing story of government foresight and stupidity.
California can't solve the climate crisis alone. The draft plan does
nothing to show the world how to replace coal plants. That's critical.
otherwise we win the battle in california, but lose the war. This is one war
we cannot lose.
