In addition to solar, wind, geo-thermal, and other sources of green energy technology, we will soon be able to finally add nuclear to the equation. 
Seems like a no-brainer to build more nukes instead of burning fossil fuels. The inherent fear about terrorism at one of these plants needs to be overcome first. Maybe the newer designs and technology can get us over the hump.

I’m happy to see it.

The OP article doesn’t indicate any plans to build one. Just says the government approves. The government also promotes / believes global wRming is caused by CO2 which is demonstrably false.

Our coal powered plants are the cleanest in the world. While they ban coal here, China continues to build dirty coal plants at record pace.

Here you go Bob.
Kairos Power, an engineering company located on West Tower Avenue in Alameda, has started construction on its Hermes Low-Power Demonstration Reactor, the first non-light-water reactor to be permitted in the U.S. in over 50 years. The reactor will be located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and is expected to be operational in 2027.

Not anymore. A few years back China was building coal plants at a record pace, but after having to deal with thick smog smog due to the burning of coal, they realized they were choking their own cities, now they’re scaling that back and charging full speed ahead on renewables and SS battery technology. We can’t let them be the leaders in this arena.

Checking out a few of these pictures, it’s easy to see why they’re changing their tune so fast.
After building at record pace for so many years, it was bound to slow down as the demand was met.
Glad to see some real progress. New, safer, smaller (scalable) reactor designs have been in the works for decades. However, choosing Oak Ridge,TN (nuclear central) as the location means they are quite wary of public acceptance, which is the true hurdle yet to come.

I’ve had my own maintenance company for 30 plus years in Florida and never dealt with gas or oil furnaces or boilers so this was a hard course for me but I got it now and I strongly recommend if you are weak in any field to take it as many times as you need to be confident with that field of knowledge, it will only help you in the long run
Huh? Maybe the wrong thread?

Good news for clean air and the planet in general.
Plus Green tech is a huge jobs producer.
Interesting. So much for the myths and lies coming from some for nothing more than political gain.

I am not surprised, we all knew Biden was lying to get elected.

Well, he did want to cut the emissions of fossil fuels IMO too drastically, but we all know the reality is we need cleaner fossil fuels, NG, as a bridge to renewables that are powering the country. These are massive changes, and they take time to incorporate.
