> McGough says the company envisions the modules also could be used in other ways. For example, he says, they could be installed near wind turbines as backup when the wind isn't blowing. Or they could be used by the military to power bases that need electricity even if the grid goes down. About a dozen clients in the U.S. and abroad are looking at the technology, he says.
Renewables is the way to go. No waste problem, vastly reduced risk. Why bother with this?
For baseline load?
Requiring 'traditional' reactors for baseline is a myth. Renewables work just fine.
That is certainly not the case. Renewables are solved. Storage is not. Until that problem is fixed 24/7 generation sources will still be needed.
