That’s just flat out wrong. Reprocessing is significantly more expensive at current uranium prices.
And so many states would throw up tons of roadblocks for reactors shipping their used fuel offsite to a central reprocessing facility.

No, not directly. You’d have to divert it and only irradiate it for short periods of time (30 days rather than the 18 to 24 month cycles that current plants have).
Proliferation isn’t a significant concern for reprocessing within the US. It’s primarily a concern for other non nuclear weapons countries that start it because they can then create nuclear weapons.
The US has no need to do that. They have more plutonium than they need for current weapons and it has a half life in the hundreds of thousands of years so it will last forever.
The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that’s far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.
But then you’re looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).
Where are you getting that? This says 15 Mbps.

I’m sure you’re going to have a worse or slower experience particularly when scrubbing, but it should be just adequate.
The issue is energy density. There’s a reason why boat tanks are ~6 times larger than a cars gas tank. That’s why they’re so expensive (plus batteries are much heavier).
The Bolt EV or the Leaf are just that.
It’s a bit too positive to encompass all that is elitism.
