Nuclear is the way to go. Solar and wind are scams and are unreliable.

Nuclear is great too, but solar is cheap, fast, and easy, and its efficiency is approaching 30%. That's useful, especially with the accompanying advancements in battery technology.

I love what trump is doing for energy. USA has a lot of sun and a lot of natural gas. Add nuclear and this is a pretty clean mix that provides all the energy we need for the foreseeable future.

Regarding nuclear power plants... anyone in the know have any updates how the molten salt reactor is going at Abilene Christian?

Given the amount of physical space needed and the very possible environmental issues given they are are in prime tornado and hail areas, 30% doesn't seem worth it.

A very fair minded & accurate summation. For the quoted poster to call solar and wind a "scam" is no less ridiculous than a greenie saying nuclear will contaminate the entire planet. If people would lose their political & social bias and stick to facts…….we'll achieve better and faster solutions to our energy requirements.

People are already losing their minds over data centers. What will they do when a reactor is proposed in their area?

Good Trump. Nuclear should've always been our focus over wind and solar

Sure, don't put it where there's a good chance it'll be damaged by weather. But there are tons of ugly ace places in south and west Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and California where weather isn't an issue and land demand isn't exactly high.

It's a good technology. Democrats went insane with their solar push (that was probably more about control), but there's a lot to like about it. I'm not going to go down the global warming rabbit hole, but nobody would be sad to see cities have less smog or smell more like the country.

Good Trump.

If 80% of the US power demand baseload goes nuclear, the greenies will have nothing to complain about, gas prices would plummet, and we could sell a lot more oil to China.

---

Or deny oil to China and tank their work. I like my idea better.

Valar and Antares just reached criticality at INL for their SMRs. Radiant should be right behind them.

All three are building container sized SMRs producing around 1MW.

---

Well, they sure should be or the HMFIC will be pissed and probably send us all to the DMV or at least put us on KP where there will be BYOB. It's all going to be a PR nightmare and it better be fixed PDQ. Do you have an ETA on the DL or is that still TBD?


Seriously have no clue what you just wrote.

Her bio never mentions where she studied or her degree. I suspect she's the Dr Jill Biden kind of doctor.

I approve of this

That's not the gotcha you think it is.

AKA Lubbock

There are numerous places that don't have to exist, put them there

Maybe Westinghouse has a few of these reactors in stock!

It's insane the amount of debris that is going to pile up from the windmill scam. People freak out over a tiny plastic straw but have no issue with massive windmills that have not good way to dispose once their life span is done.

Nuclear seems to be the best viable solution going forward.

I never could understand how the math of green energy would work without nuclear. It simply can't.

We need nuclear. That said, this is one of those moves that sounds great but could be easily torpedoed by subsequent administrations.

Huge leap in safety, technological, and reliability with that reactor.

---

Nuclear energy is not lucrative so it is stuck as a the best solution that vested interests do not want

Think about if all the Nat Gas generation was impacted by new nuclear base load reactors
The carnage in the oil patch would be the 80's all over again
Renewables would not be competitive Nuclear got going
And it would be the death knell for coal given
Nuclear helps create cheap reliable electricity for everybody and it would absolutely gut most of the current industries that creat power not surprising nuclear is always a decade from being implemented

JMHO Russian bots are responsible for the Euros shuttering some of there Nuke plants about 8 years ago and some of that pro fossil fuel propaganda worked its way into American policy discussions

I love the push for nukes but I hate governement loans being involved. There is plenty of private capital available. The key is for the governement to make permitting and construction much more streamlined and expedited. If the governement gets out of the way, these projects will flourish especially SMRs and other new technology plants.

We still need nat gas for peak shaving. Nukes are great base load plants but suck at meeting variable demand. Gas on the other hand is great for that purpose. Gas isn't going away as a key part of the power grid anytime in our lifetime.

Voegtl Plant in Geoegia was 10x over budget and a decade late to operations, but yeah go trump! Yahoo!

I am all for calling out trump or anyone else when they screw up, but that epic mismanagement of a project has nothing to do with him.

Subsidize nuclear as much as we did for solar, wind and fairy farts.

I've always wondered if big oil interests from all across the globe were secretly funding an anti-nuke agenda in the US. I love the idea of a big nuclear push in the US. Run AI data centers off the nukes, facilitate electric vehicles, phase out the ugly windmills, give us a huge competitive advantage as a nation!

Lobbying is the art of paying lots money to people to ensure those who pay the most get rules, regulations, laws beneficial to their interests.

Their is a pro nuclear lobby and a pro O&G lobby. Unfortunately the green lobby has been kicking both their arses.

Trump is fixing it.

Solar is not green and of course not renewable (like everything else). Its a boondoggle waste of good land both in the install and the dumping of it when its not longer viable for whatever reason.

I wish we would put this effort into streamlining the permitting process for the next generation of reactors instead. The engineering and safety requirements for an AP1000 reactor are still significant and MSRs will eliminate most of the safety issues. If we can get the permitting process streamlined, we could be bringing MSRs online way faster than AP1000 plants.

I thought he had? If there is more to do then it will be done.

Big announcement tomorrow on housing. I haven't looked at it exactly but saw the headline.

I'm sorry man, but pretending we don't have the land to build solar panels comes across as intentionally misleading. We have endless ugly, undeveloped desert scattered across the southwest that nobody is using. I drove from Las Vegas to Zion a couple years ago and the first 75-100 miles out of the city are dry, empty, sun blasted nothing. You can't convince me that we're ruining anything by tiling a few thousand acres with solar panels.

More like a few HUNDRED thousand acres for an solar/ battery setup equivalent to a power station that is being discussed.

that is one crazy crazy psycho. the guys with the longarmed jacket need to come visit her. did you notice the extreme physical tick when she says Donald Trump. holy cow.

We just need to make sure we have proper controls in place to ensure California doesn't start enriching Uranium. We can't let them have a nuclear weapon.

Disagree. There's a lot to be said for a built and proven design (AP1000). Many of the SMRs aren't really proven in a scalable way (particularly the HTGRs). I think the mini PWR (Nuscale) and mini-BWR (BWRX) could be quick to market but there will still be some growing pains.

If subsidies or government assistance are gonna be handed out, I think this is a good bull. Slot has already been spent in developing and incentivizing SMRs. Why not both?
