A molten salt reactor is, first and foremost, a distraction.
By the time any production molten-salt reactor design could get proved out and the first commercial one built, renewables + storage will be providing all our power for much less money than it ever could.
But we can waste a lot of $billions on it that could instead go to build out a hell of a lot of panels and wind turbines.
