Some good questions, Bill. Environmentally, nuclear is probably the best form of power generation we currently have available to us. Economically, however, it is relatively expensive.

Subject: What about nuclear power?
I have questions about nuclear power and its role in our electrical power system. What fraction of our energy is presently produced by nuclear power? Should it be increased? Are safety and cost acceptable? Are new technologies available or coming? Could new Small Modular Reactors be a sound approach?
