Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) can produce from 5 to 400 Mega Watts of electricity. They are factory produced and can be transported to any area. They have INCREASED SAFETY FEATURES. Their small size alone helps make they safe. Right now their only disadvantage is the public's fear of nuclear energy. In the future they will keep getting smaller to the point that each home may have their own unit. 4) Battery technology is improving with things like solid state batteries and better safety and more range. 5) The EV has fewer parts than an ICE vehicle and eventually will cost less and be more reliable. 6) Electric vehicles use will improve the air quality and restore ocean reefs. More fish protein will be available for future generations. 7) Oil can be used for pharmacy products which could bring down prescription costs. 8) The US will be less dependent on Middle East oil, which is a dangerous part of the world.
