Yes, a crazy reactor produces more. But most people just use a low voltage solar array, not the HV voltage one. The low voltage is cheap, and takes up less space than 8 solar panels, and doesn't need a transformer for use with a bat box. I'm swimming in resources on my server, but I haven't set up a nuclear reactor because I prefer either solar for light energy work, and a geothermal plant or two for high power work. Nuclear is too touchy, uranium is worth quite a bit (I'm running 3.0), and lava is friggin' everywhere. It's easier, and much less likely to explode. I'm always confused why anyone needs so much power, that they would build a nuclear reactor that relies on ice cooling, or a HV solar array. Unless you're trying to power an entire city, it's gonna get wasted when you run out of storage space.
