To Start,
In the event of an emergency, some start-up companies are creating miniature Nuclear Reactors that can be driven into disaster areas to help with energy needs in the event of a total blackout. These reactors can be temporary solutions to jump-start a city into action and thereby redirect all gas and diesel fuel to the smaller generators for citizens to use. (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/small-modular-nuclear-reactors-amazon ) It will free up needed fuel reserves while also providing for the local citizens to keep their city in motion. Particularly, if they are dependent on electricity for their cars or medical care.
Another proposal to this attachment is the investigation and investment into Cold Fusion Energy. (What Is the Future of Fusion Energy? | Scientific American ) Which is not only the best source of energy and experimental but has seen success in various studies to become a solution for our Space Travel needs in the future. Granted it is an expensive solution but if successful, we can have two or three power sources for the entire country while maintaining other alternatives of energy as reserves in case of an emergency. Perhaps even sell excess energy to nearby nations of Canada and Mexico thereby powering our neighbors.

There are already several policies like this - somebody please merge.
If you aware of those complimentary topics, could you merge them for us?

I don’t understand how to merge but here are the entries that seem like duplicates to me:
“Nuclear power cost too much!!!” …
In America, thanks to our bureaucracy, we make nuclear power too expensive to build which prevents our nation from fostering a healthy nuclear power industry and developing more advanced reactors.
We should study how other countries like South Korea, India, Japan, and France have all been able to accomplish the same thing yet in a cheaper fashion.
And guess what? Most of our current nuclear reactors in the US are still Gen 2.
Meanwhile, China has become th…
The United States should consider building new nuclear power plants to address growing energy demands, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance energy security. Nuclear power is a reliable, low-carbon energy source that can produce vast amounts of electricity consistently, unlike renewables like wind and solar that depend on weather conditions. As the U.S. aims to transition away from fossil fuels, nuclear energy provides a viable solution for meeting climate goals while maintaining grid sta…
Reduce regulations for new nuclear power plant construction so that they don’t take decades to build and have cost overruns.
National Security (Energy)
States shall be incentivized/subsidized ($) for building Nuclear Power Plants.
With the A.I. race speeding up- energy shall be stable, abundant, clean and cheap.
//
The Federal Government must reduce restrictions/regulations for building these sites.
One of the cleanest and most sustainable sources of energy in the world is nuclear. Everyone knows this but doesnt acknowledge it. The half life of uranium-235 which is the uranium used in nuclear power plants is over 700 million years. It is a net zero carbon emission source of energy. France is a leading example of what a nuclearized power grid should be. 70% of Frances electricity comes from nuclear and they are a net exporter of electricity and have some of the lowest electric bills in the w…
Please research Thorium Nuclear power plants. It’s more abundant than Uranium. Provides more energy, while not creating Plutonium used for nuclear weapons. The nuclear waste decays 10x faster than conventional uranium power plants. And some have speculated that we can use old nuclear waste to power these new plants.
I wanted to get that out of the way first. Please reconsider all of your pre conceived notions on this subject. We can create a brighter future for our children with new energy tech…
Make Energy regulated again
Nuclear energy plants should be guaranteed from the government a set price for the cost of power.
Nuclear plants are a staple in providing jobs for thousands of Americans.
Nuclear plants bring local money to the surrounding businesses.
With the regulation of energy we also need to remove outside investors who only care about quarterly profits and only allow the in house and contract workers who work at the power plants to invest in their companies stock.
With the…
To Start,
We need to deregulate the creation of new Nuclear Power plants across the country as it is both a reliable and proven source of clean energy. While most of the Nuclear power plants are aging along with the infrastructure of the United States, other foreign powers, with no or limited regulations, are building new planets at a rate we haven’t seen since the 1960s.
By creating energy we need to gain independence across all sectors, Nuclear will be able to provide the clean energy we con…
This country needs new energy sources that are clean, environmentally friendly, and safe. Solar and wind are boondoggles of epic proportions, and our needs cannot be met by them. But we’ve been sitting on a source of safe and clean energy that most have ignored due to ignorance of the subject matter: Nuclear power. Specifically, Thorium-based reactors.

As a nation, we need to focus on how to produce not only the most power possible for our citizens, but the most efficient ways to do so. Nuclear energy is the future of power production, it is clean energy, and it generates substantially more energy per pound of resource than fossil fuels, solar, or wind power. There are inherent dangers when working with nuclear energy, but these dangers are usually offset by safety features.
One uranium pellet has the potential to produce as much if not more …
Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and the US Navy have patents regarding nuclear fusion reactors. Fusion reactors have been in secret use by the United States government since the 1950s. It is time to declassify this technology so that power companies and DIY engineers can create fusion reactors of varying sizes and wattage. This will reduce our reliance on fossil fuels while also making energy far more abundant for the entire country without having any of the drawbacks of fission-based nuclear power.
If someone merges these, please provide the link. I would like to keep up with my policy and the ones that are similar in nature.
