- Despite resurgent interest in nuclear power and the Vogtle plant opening in Georgia, the US can expect only minor reactor upgrades in the years ahead. Will Wade reports.

It's good for the environment in the long run. Less hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.
China 🇨🇳 built the biggest coal plants on earth last year.
It built 70 GW of new coal-power capacity last year, almost 20 times the rest of the world's 3.7 GW combined.
There may be hope for us yet.

Very exciting to see the US put new reactors online. May be over budget but, these reactors are expected to last over 100 years. In the long run future generations will thank us.
A lot of wishful thinking on nuclear power….the sad reality is sobering. I was QC at short lived San Onofre…….
So are you advocating small thorium reactors ?
if they built more ap1000's, they'd be cheaper.
Pretty sure AI already decided it wants nuclear energy. So...
Bingo ❗️🥂
amazing
Power plants are expensive and don’t produce any electricity until you have finished it. The operation cost is also higher than expected and will continue to rise. I think solar and wind (with storage) are cheaper and can produce electricity right away even before the entire project is finished. Resilience is better also, if a few panels are bad you don’t have to shut down the entire project and stop producing just to fix them.
But they lack capacity factors and the costs of a fully renewable system plus storage will cost more than a mix including some nuclear. You need a stable base load and renewables for peaks. Sure it may take a while to build one, but once it’s built il will out produce renewables in terms of same installed capacity and will last 80+
True solar and wind can't make electricity when there's winter 😂😂😂
@@junielesparas8018 In Texas it was the natural gas equipment that couldn’t handle the cold, over 100 people died in that fiasco. Solar and wind were still working.
@@frankcoffey one lasts for decades the other lasts for at best 5 years I'll take a nuclear power plant over solar or wind anyday not to mention nuclear takes up significantly less room than any solar farm or wind farm
@@jacobsukovaty520 There is room around the nuke plant that can't be used because nobody wants to live there. There are also places you can put solar and wind you can't put a plant of any kind.
This will lead to more jobs and more importantly, more government spending

WELL, NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WOULD DARE TO PUT A PLANT IN USA AFTER SEEING HOW A MIGHT COMPANY LIKE TOSHIBA WENT BANKRUPT WITH JUST ONE PLANT....
Today I will remember the ultimate power is God. I will be grateful. For even the earth will continue to revolve without any help from me.
I am free to live my own life, safe in the knowledge that a Higher Power is taking care of the world, my loved ones, & myself

More important! One plants one waters God grows
We all can do better 🌱🕊
All the regulations will cost time and money, don’t think more will build, in US, but other countries are building because it makes sense.
Remember Fuk-us-hi-ma?
Yeah, I remember the earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands, while the nuclear accident killed zero
nope
@@doomslayerforever2858 On 11 March 2011, the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power station (FDNPS) suffered major damage after the magnitude 9.0 great east-Japan earthquake and subsequent tsunami. It was the largest civilian nuclear accident since the Chernobyl accident in 1986.
Seems like a lot of people are not aware of the associated dangers of nuclear power stations.
Hope that helps.
@@filipporiva1864 really?
You'd better go back and re-evaluate your ridiculous comment.
@@scdhl4 on what basis? There are no confirmed deaths due to the Fukushima accident from any international agency. Maybe you should reevaluate your knowledge of the accident
When you have to get an inspection before you drill a hole in block. Then get another inspection after you drill, then another inspection after you install the anchor. It goes out of budget real quick.
And what would be the cost if the anchor don't hold ?
Pretend That YOU Have To Live Next To The Thing
@danjohnston9037 never said it wasn't needed. Stop acting like a female and assuming things. Not too mention, if for example an electrician runs more than 50' of conduit a day, they're told they'll be fired or "laid off". It's government money which Incentivizes wasteful spending and laziness.
@@Silvergambit The idea appears to be
" Slow & Safe ".
Not Fast, Cheap & Risk Tolerant.

@@danjohnston9037you probably tell your kids they did great and deserve trophies when they strikeout every at bat
@@Silvergambit No, but that seems to be what you are asking for. You are that one who complains about meeting the contract terms. Don't Bid Anymore
