Nuclear is reliable, works 24/7, and generates a lot of power, all for essentially zero carbon. Get an exclusive Surfshark deal! Enter promo code UNDECIDED for an extra 3 months free at https://surfshark.deals/undecided. That comes at a price, though. Nuclear plants are really expensive, legislatively challenging, difficult to scale, and have a hotly debated reputation. But what if there was a way to build smaller, cheaper, and safer nuclear power plants sized for individual businesses or small communities? It might sound like an Atomic Age dream, but it’s already here. Are small modular reactors the path towards a nuclear future? And is nuclear power really as bad as many of us think it is?
