Tennessee/TVA to be first to build modular nuclear power plants

We need to be building lots of these. Some to replace existing coal facilities, and many more for electric vehicles to ever become the norm in driveways.
OR….develop a nuclear flux capacitor that powers a vehicle for 3,000 miles. Doctor Emmett Brown would require us to think big here!

If we started today it would take 30 years for the infrastructure to switch to 50% electric vehicles
Actually electric cars could be a partial solution, by charging at home late at night, might permit a higher base load so that the nuke could be a higher percent of grid. Combine this with the car “providing” surge capacity during the day (use the battery to operate your home during the day)

I would like to see a higher percentage of power generation happening at the point of use. Forget wind farms and solar farms. Let’s put solar panels or wind turbines on any homes that go to electric vehicles.

I'm a quasi-nerd. Not enough to know the ins and outs of nuclear reactors. But it seems developers are having problems constructing them at anything close to their initial cost estimate.


Don’t we put these things on boats and sail them around the world. It sounds like we should be able to build the t
Stationary as well.
