(2) Parts supply chain automation and distribution techniques advanced by Walmart, Dell, and others will improve schedule predictability and lower the cost even more. (3) The lower initial investment will allow companies to gradually add nuclear capacity which will reduce financial risk and facilitate balancing electrical demand and supply. Let's hope there is some investment capitol left in the system despite our government's ill advised promotion of inefficient, expensive and intermittent wind and solar energy.
