🤔 I legitimately do wonder why stuff like this and support for nuclear energy in general hasn’t skyrocketed on account of climate change. It’s the one large-scale means that we have to achieve clean energy with current technology, yet I see no governments pushing to replace coal plants with nuclear ones. You’d think the companies who own the coal plants would just accept the writing on the wall and switch to nuclear, if only to save themselves.

There’s so much about humanity’s tepid response to climate change in general that does not make sense to me, but the fact remains that nuclear is an important tool we have in our toolbox and we desperately need to start using it to prevent the real tragedy of runaway climate collapse.

What do you guys think? Do you think these small modular reactors will take off or nah?
