Most utilities simply can’t afford the risk — their entire net worth may be only $20–25 million. But adding bite-sized units will be like adding individual windmills — except the reactors won’t stand 45 stories tall to produce only 1 megawatt apiece."LarryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955273945502612268noreply@blogger.com
