The number-one challenge of our times is to separate the wheat from the chaff.

As a representative matter (and a national issue of great significance), let's look at what's happening with industrial wind energy.
The primary reason why wind energy has been a success has nothing to do with wind energy! Instead, its success is 100% due to the fact that wind energy proponents are masterful lobbyists.

Extremely safe to run (no such thing as meltdown), MSR’s can also use spent uranium-235 fuel rods and even plutonium-239/240 from dismantled nuclear weapons as fuel.
