Zero carbon

It is often said that innovation is the key to increased productivity and that is true. Here is an idea that will solve the problem of climate change at low cost and in quick time. There are 290 coal fired power plants that have been shut down in the United States and scattered around the country. These plants have the steam powered generators intact and are connected to the grid. The old coal boilers are removed and replaced with small modular nuclear power units. These small units are made on an assembly line and brought by truck to the location. They do not need water and are walk away safe. In addition they use up old stored nuclear waste. There are 224 coal plants still in operation and scheduled to be closed in the coming years and these too could be refitted with small nuclear powered units. The next step is to replace the 1,800 natural gas power plants with small nuclear units. The entire power system in the country would then be running on nuclear energy. Zero carbon.
