Please Congress, we need real energy solutions, not your offshore wind farm fantasy!
200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. What’s on foot is a move to bring those reactors onshore and use them to shore up power grids being wrecked by the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas,,, One of the feeble ‘arguments’ against it, is that nuclear power plants are of such vast scale that they take longer to build than the pyramids of Giza, and cost twice as much. SMR technology takes the sting out of that case. And, as Walter Starck outlines below, SMRs provide the perfect opportunity to reintroduce our good friends logic and reason into the debate about what powers us now, and the future. >click to read< 12:37
160 vessels nuclear powered 24-7 for how many decades??? These vessels required crews!!! Hundreds of thousands over the decades would be conservative… In fact joining the Navy opened doors for many: Travel, Training, and adventure!!! These VESSELS would not be in operation if there were issues here!!! We’re talking some serious numbers proven-numbers for Decades!!! The music from the 60’s and 70’s are still cool!!! The reality of this power source needs a fair review…Just like the Music the Vessels are still in operation!!!
