Always blew my mind with all the talk of carbon emissions that we have less nuclear reactors now than we did 30 years ago. Solar and wind were never going to be able to eliminate coal and natural gas, it's just simply not reliable enough. We certainly have to be able to make significantly better (in both safety and efficiency) plants than the ones that were designed in like the 1950s and 1960s, too.
Kind of crazy to think about. We have nuclear powered ships. How can we be good enough to stick a nuclear reactor on a floating piece of metal but not good enough to build them on land for a reasonable cost in a reasonable amount of time.
