President Joe Biden’s administration is setting out plans for the US to triple nuclear power capacity by 2050, with demand climbing for the technology as a round-the-clock source of carbon-free power.
Energy production is not the bottleneck. The real problem is transport. Our infrastructure cannot handle the demand. We desperately need to upgrade the grid.
Modular reactors help solve that in part by allowing much more local production. While we definitely need massive infrastructure repair and upgrades, we can start that while local reactors are being prepped and built.
