Will this hurt Tesla?

Parts of what they are doing will.

I just want to add that nuclear energy is clean energy and that the GOP is right to push for it. They might be wrong on most things but not on this one.
-
Too expensive, takes too long to build, still risky.
And dumping radioactive sludge into a hollowed out mountain, not clean.
-
Its not economical yet, especially with renewables being so cheap. With a continental grid filling each other's gaps, renewables are unbeatable.
-
Renewals cannot sustain industrial energy demand on their own. By all means encourage people to use renewable energy in their houses but industry requires more juice so nuclear it is. And how come it isn’t economical? We used to have way more nuclear power plants and it wasn’t economical concerns that shut them down afaik.

Yes, and in fact, nuclear energy is precisely what is needed to manufacture the infrastructure of a clean energy grid with the least amount of carbon output. Thorium reactors are de wei.
-
Maybe. By all means it deserves investment, deserves the attempt, but it doesn’t seem much more practical than fusion
Cost?
- renewables are the cheapest power generation
- nuclear is most expensive, not economical
- thorium isn’t even developed for regular use
Time?
- renewables can be built asap, and brought into use incrementally
- nuclear takes decades to build, no one can afford that
- thorium isn’t even commercially offered
