France figured that out years ago. They plan of 14+ new reactors in the next decades good for them. Texas has the pad space to double our nuclear power from 18% to 32% of our total power. The South Texas project has two empty pad spaces for two more huge reactors the cooling lake was sized for a 4 reactor plant. Same for Comanche peak it also has two empty pad spaces and it’s lake was sized for a 4 reactor plant. But nukes scare the Karen’s and their cuck Brad hubbys

Ya, these “nukes” scare the hell out of me too. And I actually worked on both The STP and the comanche peak plants during construction in the late 80’s. I worked in the x ray labs ensuring the integrity of the reactor and cooling systems. The old designs were so complex added to the toxicity of the fuels is just asking for catastrophic failure.The new Thorium Salt Reactor designs are hundreds of times safer, the fuel is useless for making bombs, and most important to me, the half lives of the fuels are in the single to double digit years as opposed to thousands. just mothballing these old monstrosities is going to run into the high billions.
