Increasing demand and declining reliable supply could put people in
the dark.
Yesterday I was reading Netherlands gov has decided to build 4 new nuclear power plants.
They still have to find locations for 3, what if next doors?? ??

These are planned to be the --now old-fashioned-- Westinghouse
design? Big installations that need ten years to build?

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to start an industry of
small modular reactors. Tens of megawatts rather than hundreds,
Something that could fit on a barge, or a train, transported
where it's needed, and up and running in months rather than
years.
Yes, Russia has a ship with a nuclear power plant that powers some city somewhere,
no risk of flooding then :-)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_floating_nuclear_power_station OTOH ever more power is needed, so a big nuclear power plant makes sense.
