Nuclear fission does not.
We need to be leveraging the US’s investment and success with SMR’s (Small Modular Reactors) that is the U.S. Navy nuclear propulsion system. And maybe advancing it for civil use by using thorium instead of uranium. And building lots of civil power plants thus.
As I have often pointed out here, and in public, you cannot power modern civilization with wind, solar, and unicorn flatulence. You need dispatchable power from nuclear fission (fusion has been 20 years out for the last 60 years or more), coal, natural gas. Oil is too valuable as a transportation fuel to use for grid power generation.
And building lots of civil power plants thus.
Texas, and places west, have lots of land to build civil power plants.
New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc. do not have the open land to build these power plants. Which is why they are against them.
