LOL. You do raise a good point. That model doesn’t work in flyover country...

NDB, or Nano Diamond Battery, is an innovative energy generation and storage concept that envisions redefining and potentially revolutionizing the battery as we know it

Its potential for long-lasting properties and extended longevity is envisioned through the conversion of radioactive decay energy from nuclear waste into usable energy.

"Build them like Elon Musk is building SpaceX rockets!"

Exactly what the "small modular" concept is all about. Most are designed to fit in a standard shipping container, be trucked to the site, and offloaded into a pre-prepped modular receptacle.

If we started building new powerplants today, we still wouldn’t have the capacity by 2050.

I am wholly enthusiastic about this kind of thing...I have been a proponent of pebble bed reactors, because I believe they are safe and scalable...they could be used for municipal power plants for small towns, etc.

And because it could be placed closer to where the energy is used by consumers and industry, there is less energy waste that is inherent in sending electricity over the high voltage power lines long distances.

My analysis of that technology tells me it is completely feasible.

I think we are of a like mind on this.
