Energy & Water
What is happening? West Virginia is considering reversing its prohibition on nuclear power.
Why is this important? The information that fueled this reversal, including the use of microreactors that produce 1 mw to 10 mw of power and may serve remote communities or areas prone to brownouts and blackouts. Also mentioned are small modular reactors that produce 300 mw or less and make a good replacement for coal plants in line to be phased out.
How will this be important? Does nuclear enter the discussion more as a means of power with lower emissions.
