For those who seem wary of the safety of future nuclear power projects, take a look at this video.

We should definitely be using nuclear power for everything.

The two big issues with microreactors are 

1. Getting enough fuel to power them

2. How do we regulate them?

Except I'm pretty sure that's NOT how any civilian nuke plant works.

Should have gone nuclear a long time ago and used that energy to build our new renewable infrastructure. Oh well, chances missed.

I think poca was referring to the plan in the video... to build a bunch of mini plants to provide power to various areas.

Of course, security is a thing. And these small plants would have to hire security like any other plant, plus be subject to government inspections.

Like fossil fuels, nuclear fuel is non-renewable. It's just another short-term fix.

True. But it's cleaner. And it may help us meet energy demands until we get renewable energy going worldwide. All while not negatively impacting climate change.
