more funding has been approved for NuScale's Small Modular Reactor design...these are two critical (pardon the pun) GEN-IV projects for our future...they are due to be operatonal in the 2028 time frame....these things take time...and meanwhile Joe is doing his best to keep the reactors we already have, on-line.
Yes, we have a vocal faction of "No Nukes" in the Democratic Party...but we also have, what I'll term "Passive Aggressives" in the Oil & Gas Industry who want to hold onto their profits a bit longer.
