Yeah I got that impression from the other comments. I might go back to just that part for the hell of it. Seems to be kind of a meme.

Yeah I don't know, I remember something about extra super steel in the beginning, where it was kind of like "assertive entrepreneur makes eggheads do the impossible". That is just not how anything in engineering works at all. Was kind of a turn-off for me also.
But I am glad that this stuff made it into a cool train story for you. I like your sentiment.
Levelized costs of electricity are different from the spot price. Market price doesn't tell you anything about cost efficiency of nuclear (or any other source).
Started reading Atlas a couple of months ago and put it aside after a third or so. I am used to reading "conventionally boring" stuff but this was such a slog. Super sterile, the characters are stereotypical, the message Rand wants to bring across seems awfully clear very early on. It may be the historical context that makes it more interesting, I didn't see it, though. Just couldn't do it.
Reading your comments on this thread is a relief, maybe there is nothing wrong with me after all.
YES for Sacrifice. This game is a piece of art. I don't get how it was never remade or it never got a sequel. Such a loss...
