When it runs right yes. I wish it'd actually work. It sounds wonderful. Especially with the new processes that pretty much use every speck of fuel. But so far it'd fucked up twice. And been close many times. And in my country. Most are well past their due date for reconstruction. Right now. There are much better ways. Personally I like a intercontinental hyperloop that has those new super efficient massive wires running with it with solar, wind and hydro power all along it. Combine it with solar water purifiers and pumps on the oceans to create new water batteries along routes needed. Would be able to provide clean fresh water for the inside of the continent while the central part of the continent provides all the power. Could cut our military budget and pay for it within a few decades in time for fusion to supplement the rest.

Maybe fission as an interim instead of more coal or gas burners. But nothing more than that. Radiation doesn't go away. It's to risky no matter what people say. It'd fucked up twice. That's a pattern.
