New regs on nuclear

The scientific community has been saying for some time now that the climate change problem can best be solved by nuclear power. Those opposed often sighted safety and waste disposal as reasons to avoid nuclear but that has changed. The new molten salt reactors automatically shut down when power is lost and they produce far less waste and can use up existing stored waste. The final factor against nuclear was the cost but that too has been reduced. The small reactors are produced assembly line style and shipped to the use point. The biggest cost factor was regulation and Trump has taken steps to reduce that. President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at boosting nuclear power and restructuring the independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission during an Oval Office event on Friday. The order calls for approvals of new nuclear reactor designs to be completed in no more than 18 months. Currently it takes 10 years to get approval. The only thing standing in the way of nuclear is the idea that wind and solar can replace fossil fuels and that has been debunked.
