I hope he succeeds! This is far better than having the landscape littered with bird killing windmills and solar farms that incenerate birds.

Nuclear is the best source of large scale energy IF safety were guaranteed. The safety of nuclear energy seems like a solvable engineering problem -- a difficult problem certainly, but then again so was manned space flight.

I am not saying solar and wind are worse than fossil fuels -- but I am saying that nuclear could be the future. Combining nuclear generation with advanced batteries seems to be an ideal energy future.
