    You DIDN'T see the graphite on the ground because it's not there!

    I think that's a safe assumption. :p

    Right here... kind of avoiding the politics! But the whole idea makes all kinds of good sense.

    ..... But the whole idea makes all kinds of good sense.
    It's not like it's new, there've been various district heating projects with small reactors since the 50's.
    Steam is steam. Makes all kind of sense now with the push to decarbonize.
