Advanced Nuclear Power and Our Energy Future
According to commentator Scott Carlberg, nuclear power can be likened to potato chips, with advanced nuclear plants representing the next level, comparable to a ridged, sharp cheddar chip or even the jalapeño-salsa chip of the energy world.
Discussions are currently underway to introduce more nuclear power to the Sunflower State, with companies having already signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOU's) to explore this idea.
When we need reliable, carbon-free power — count on nuclear-generated energy.
In Kansas, the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant, located in Burlington, is the top power plant and has been operational since 1985, producing approximately 10.5 terawatt-hours of power annually. To put this into perspective, a terawatt-hour equals one trillion watt-hours, with a five-watt LED bulb using one watt-hour of electricity if left on for 12 minutes.
Other states are also embracing advanced nuclear power, and commentator Scott Carlberg suggests that Kansas should follow suit.
Author's summary: Nuclear power is a reliable source of carbon-free energy.
