@NMBA@mstdn.ca Yeah, Project Oilsand was very naive.

Costs in Ontario for Pickering and Darlington were high because of the prototype, or product-leader, nature of those reactors.

For the building of an in-production reactor one has to look at Bruce, which was for a long-time the largest nuclear power facility in the world, and which was built on-, and slightly under-budget.

I don't know the economics of Geothermal in the context of bitumen processing. On the face of it it would seem that temperatures are high enough. And, it'd give drillers something to do!
