The last nuclear plant in this country was designed and construction was begun in 1977, taking nearly 20 years to come online and begin producing power.
Only a few years after personal computers took off.
Think of the Space Shuttle, and think of SpaceX. That much difference in technology.
We should be pursuing small, modular pebble bed reactors scalable to run a municipal power plant for a small city, and modular Thorium reactors. It is crazy that we are not doing so.
We should be developing these and exporting the technology...we should be a world leader in this.
Trust me-if we don’t...the Chinese will.
Yes, it is.
