Need power that runs 24/7 without carbon waste? Nuclear may be the answer. Bill Gates and others are investing in 21st century technology to solve the known problems with (shutting down) nuclear reactor after issues and do it safely. Gates' company, Terrapower is looking at using "spent" fuel and estimates they could use the currently stockpiled material to power the entire country SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS!!!!
Three Mile Island (TMI), Chernobyl, Fukushima and other plants all used 1950-1960 technology. A lot of testing at various plants (to improve how things worked) was shut down by President Bill Clinton.
