It's a bore hole only 32 inch in diameter and saves you the cost of the thick concrete domes required for above ground. 17 cents per kilowatt hour on above ground with years of construction and a great deal of space to put one. This mini reactor can literally be put in a farmers field.
Big oil and Big Coal will never go for it.Acclaimed Physicist And His Daughter Are Burying Tiny Nuclear Reactors A Mile Underground
Liz Muller convinced her dad Richard to forego retirement and become an entrepreneur. The result is a revolutionary approach to making atomic energy cheaper and safer.
Tiny nuclear reactors a mile deep producing a kilowatt hour at 6 cents. Maybe this is a way forward. Even cheap and quick to build.
What does everyone think?
I don't have a solution to keep big oil and coal in check. That would take coordination among the masses. They are really good at keeping us divided. The good news is unlike other possible solutions such as wind and solar the right is not against nuclear. I would imagine the propaganda against the mini nuclear option would be pointed at the left. Who knows only time will tell. Sooner or later we have to address the energy issue.

Again the good thing about the tiny reactor. Due to the fact it is tiny they can be placed almost anywhere greatly reducing the cost of transmission. In the very least they could be the solution for these data centers that are going up. Even if they were only placed by the data centers that would relieve to stress the energy usage data centers place on the market. Is it a cure for all our issues? I just don't know. A lot of things look good on paper. Due to the low cost of building one it takes a great deal less money to find out. Certainly worth putting it to the test
If the reactor is that small then you wouldn't thick concrete domes, nor a great deal of space.

Lol, your opinion with nothing backing it. The article says different. Some times there is no sun. Some times there is no wind. I am not against either. The future likely requires a multi pronged approach. Mini nuclear reactors also has its limitations it requires a water source to produce steam. With our energy usage I am not taking any option off the table.
Corruption exists in all spaces. It has since the beginning. It will be till the end. All we can do is our best to limit it. If not American companies then who ? The government? Iran? Who? Distrust is smart. You can not fully trust anyone. You also can't just lay down and die. Hell there are times ya can't even trust yourself. There will never be an end to all problems.
