Cooling towers dispose of heat as though it is a nuisance, though it is really a valuable source of energy. Greenhouses, drying plants and fish farms are all good ways to use excess heat even in remote powerplant locations. There must be a way to change the laws to encourage this kind of development.

Others have only natural gas. With niches like that, we think we have a good place to start. Of course, there is some competition in the space now. Hyperion Power Generation and NuScale have also recognized that there is a need for reliable power in somewhat remote places. I have been studying energy technology for nearly three decades and I only know one alternative to fossil fuel that will work. I am excited by the fact that it actually works a lot better. As a guy who has lived the high energy, off grid life that fission can provide, I just need to figure out how to get over the first unit hurdle. Sean:
