Why Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Could Be the Future of U.S. Energy

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) may be the future of energy in the U.S. With older nuclear plants being retired and solar and wind growth slowing, SMRs offer a more flexible, factory-assembled alternative capable of delivering scalable clean power. Their rise comes as demand for carbon-free electricity surges nationwide.
