"Summary": "<p>Here's the depressing fact with fighting to reduce carbon emissions. When we see that almost 1000 coal plants in Asia are either in construction, permitted, pre-permitted or announced, how can we decarbonize? Anything we do in the U.S. (or anywhere) against this onslaught won't make a difference. But imagine replacing all those coal plants with small modular reactors (SMR), a type of nuclear reactor that is smaller in size and designed to be built in modules, allowing for more flexibility, scalability, and potentially safer and more cost-effective nuclear power generation. SMRs can be loaded onto cargo planes, flown in nearby, then trucked on semis and installed in weeks, replacing a coal plant by just plugging into the existing power distribution network. We are getting close to this reality. </p><p>In 2-years this company will be able to ship 2 new reactors a week, each one powering 20K homes. Austin-based Aalo Atomics @AaloAtomics is building portable reactors small enough to fit inside a NYC apartment. Its reactors will be made of Lego-like parts—made in a factory and then easily assembled on site. Aalo’s goal: Be able to get a new reactor firing in just 60 days. It currently takes about 14 years to build and fire up an old-school reactor—talk about acceleration! Aalo is commercializing a proven design from Idaho National Laboratory, one that's already cleared regulatory hurdles. <br /></p>",
