Nuclear Energy
Time to Ramp Up US Nuclear Power!
You’ve heard me discuss it before. I love nuclear power. It’s clean, efficient and enables America to stay ahead of the curve on the increasing demand for energy. Let’s start with efficiency. One of the most important measurements of energy generation is reported by the federal government is capacity factor. Basically the ratio of actual energy generation compared to the potential output over a period of time. Not sure what that really means? Simply put, higher is better. Nuclear comes in at a stellar 92% compared to about 33% for wind and between 22% and 29% for solar.
