    I know this is troll physic, but is it free if the material will run out?

      Is it free if you have to conduct geological surveys to find the material, then do a bunch of digging to pull it out of the ground, then run a massive refining operation to get a moderately useful amount?

      The material will run out after a few billion billion billion terawatts have been generated, assuming with use both uranium and thorium. It’s like saying is solar free if the sun is going to run out?

      Incidentally,

      All solar power is nuclear power, and if you’re brave enough all nuclear power can be solar power.
