When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that’s also very much part of American branding.
Where are my renewable bros at? Tell me this is bad.
Small modular reactors are modern. And it’s where the majority of the research is happening.
It’s a bit of a chicken and the egg situation right now. Once the factories ramp up, they’ll be pumping out some of the cheapest power producers by MW ever designed.
Unfortunately, those factories can’t ramp up until the sales start coming in, and the sales aren’t coming in because without the factories going full steam ahead, it’s incredibly expensive to make the reactors.
Solar and wind had the exact same problem back in the day. They just didn’t have two separate lobbying groups trying to kill them off.
