8 billion people, hopefully 1 million of them can be nuclear power plant operators once the green movement gets it head screwed on strait. Want 50% less emissions, built 200 powerpants and open Yuca mountain to long term waste.
They have mixed up their message with their purported purpose...cheap clean power is at hand if government lawyers get out of the way. Some fruit and nuts hippy knows nothing about the modern electrical generation system but has much more pull as former energy company accounting heads. Neither know anything about power plants, but one knows about return on investment.
>>Want 50% less emissions, built 200 powerplants and open Yuca mountain to long term waste.
Current US generation capacity is about 12,000,000 megawatts.
A standard nuclear plant is about 1000 megawatts.
So you need a lot more than 200.
Not saying it isn’t a good idea. It’s just that you need a lot more nuclear plants, especially if you use electricity for heating and transportation in the future.
