SMR

Over the past 20 years the world has spent $4.6 trillion dollars on renewable energy projects and this has not reduced the amount of fossil fuel usage because the increase in demand has outpaced the increase in renewables. Over the next 20 years, if this money is spent on small modular reactors (SMR's), along with the latest carbon dioxide turbines there will be zero carbon. The reactors are built on an assembly line and are the size of a semi trailer. The new turbines can also be built on assembly lines and they are also the size of a semi trailer. Each reactor is 100 megawatts (MW) and each turbine can handle 5 reactors. A typical large scale nuclear power plant is one gigawatt or 10 MW. To replace a current nuclear power plant requires 10 SMR's and 2 turbines. These can all be built and supply all of the power needed for the world at a cost of $4.5 trillion dollars.
