Smaller Reactors Could Spark A Nuclear Power Comeback in the U.S.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains that nuclear power is poised for a revival in the United States thanks to small modular reactors (SMRs). These next-generation nuclear facilities, which could be approved within two years, are more efficient and faster to build than older plants. While not entirely green, SMRs offer a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels and could play a key role in America’s energy future.
