To be fair, we’ve had nuclear power for decades too but we’ve been limiting ours to pushing around a navy.
I was in radcon engineering training today where the instructor was talking about there being (I think it was) 6400 reactor operating years total in naval nukes without a major accident or environmental release.
That sounds about right.
But I’m severely disappointed that the clean and efficient Nuclear-power is relatively un-embraced by the civilian world in America.
Not really. There are quite a few reactors generating electric power in the US, as seen on this map. But that's not even close to being enough and the ecowackos, nimbys, no nukers, and watermelons (in other words democRats) have shut down our abliity to add to this capacity.
