Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon said the project will create hundreds of jobs in the state and that an exact location for the project will be announced by the end of the year.

I realize its newsmax, but Wyoming already has wind farms. Carbon is dying, and without it, Wyo might die too. Imagine, a state with 3 people. Two senators and a rep.

They have gophers...Gheesh...Look at Alaska such a big place and so few people, maybe the inner city families would like to relocate?
 
You will never replace coal with wind and solar....either natural gas petro or nuclear....wind and solar are high priced toys for global warming freaks.....
We are working on replacing it pretty good in Tennessee, In FY05 we got 57% from coal. Here is the FY20 picture.

Doesn't look like gangbusters to me....we will find a whole new energy source before we have enough windmills and solar panels to do any good at all....maybe cold fusion....

57% coal, down to 14% coal between 2005 and 2020 is a pretty significant drop.
 

THE NEXT GENERATION OF CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCTION

TerraPower and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy brought together their decades of unparalleled design expertise and technical capabilities to develop the Natrium™ technology, which features a cost-competitive sodium fast reactor combined with a molten salt energy storage system. This unique combination will provide clean, flexible energy and stability, and integrate seamlessly into power grids with high penetrations of renewables.

Molten salt energy storage-The liquid salt is pumped through panels in a solar collector where the focused sun heats it to 566 °C (1,051 °F). It is then sent to a hot storage tank. With proper insulation of the tank the thermal energy can be usefully stored for up to a week.

Well that is different than the last time I perused a nuclear plant operation.

That is the TVA. And you will note how little comes from wind and solar. A fourfold increase in NG generation plus a 50% increase in nuclear.
 
In October 2020, the company was chosen by the United States Department of Energy as a recipient of a matching grant totaling between $400 million and $4 billion over the next 5 to 7 years for the cost of building a demonstration reactor of their "Natrium" design, which uses liquid sodium as a core coolant (this reduces the cost by having a non-pressurized primary loop). It then transfers that heat to molten salt which can be stored in tanks and used to generate steam for electricity production on demand, enabling the reactor to run continuously at constant power while allowing the electricity generation from the power station to be dispatchable.

Well you people want everyone driving electric cars along with “green” energy. Guess what? That means dozens and dozens of more nuclear plants, because Solar and Wind power can never be primary sources of power for a Bulk Electric System.

Absolutely. All cleaner than coal and no slag pile to give way as has already happened in East Tennessee. We aren't through with fossil fuels yet, so don't sell your stock. You might want to migrate out of any coal stocks you have, though.

They better not tell the Jackson Hole environmentist crowd their plan to use the Platte River Dave Johnson plant that waters parts of Nebraska and Colorado and washes into the Missouri and Mississippi basins as well that would make the plant a threat to middle America if nuclear explosion ever happens in the next 100 years.

water is diminishing from the tetons. where are they going to get water to run a nuke plant
 
Nuclear is far more sensible than windmills and solar panels
