Editor,
Most highly recognized experts say our country and the world needs to significantly increase “always on” electrical power for our future energy needs. Our electric bills are projected to go up by as much as 40% in urban areas by 2030, due to AI, electric cars and green building codes. Batteries are too costly and can’t yet store power on a large scale as the Moss Landing power plant battery fire showed.
The only sure way to meet our electrical needs is to include nuclear power in the mix. Today’s designs are safe with automatic shut downs without human intervention and smaller modular reactors are now being factory built. The U.S. Navy has used nuclear power on its ships since 1954 without a radiative incident. Today’s nuclear power plants are far more advanced, safer and less expensive.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Kahl, and a commonsense solution. The problem is is that with nuclear, there will be an end to taxpayer handouts to so-called “green” energy advocates. I’d say for these folks, it is never about “saving the world” it is always about the green as in cash money for them. Let’s end the green new scam by installing more nuclear plants.
