America's Three Mile Island energy plant, the site of the worst nuclear accident in US history, is preparing to reopen as Microsoft looks for ways to satisfy its growing energy needs. The tech giant said it had signed a 20-year deal to purchase power from the Pennsylvania plant, which would reopen in 2028 after improvements.

I'm of the opinion that many smaller nuclear generating station, rather than a few large plants, should be built all across the country.
But I'm glad for this, because demand for power is only going to grow substantially from here on out.Chinatown Thanks this. -
The HTR-PM (Chinese: 球床模块式高温气冷堆核电站) is a Chinese small modular nuclear reactor. It is a high-temperature gas-cooled (HTGR) pebble-bed generation IV reactor evolved from the HTR-10 prototype.

If the greenies were honest, Nuclear is the way to go. No duh there are nuclear accidents, it's part of the maturation of the technology. Getting scared of 3 mile island, Chernobyl, etc?

Well tell your sacred mother Gaia we are raping the Earth to get that pie-in-the-ski unicorn dreams. Diesel all the way baby!
Concorde and RockinChair Thank this.
