A Workable Fix to Decarbonize Energy Is Here. And No One is Talking About It.

Nuclear energy has many, many detractors but one fact that no one disputes is that it’s capable of producing a lot of electricity and a lot of process heat without CO2 emissions. A new generation of extremely small, road and even air transportable micro reactors promise to take the key benefits of nuclear and add flexibility and reliability as well as considerable redundancy to global power grids. Yet few have heard of them, and progress in development is only now picking up speed. Why is such a workable technology been ignored for so long?
