Rolls-Royce Touts Nuclear Reactors as Key to Clean Jet Fuel
Rolls Royce makes small nuclear reactors for submarines, and naturally, their solution to the worlds climate crisis is for more people to buy their small modular nuclear reactors. Don&#x27;t pay attention, this is just salesmanship. It is a little depressing to think that with the world at crisis, the best companies like Rolls Royce can respond is to think &quot;well there must be some way to shoehorn our existing products into this existential crisis everyone is talking about&quot;.<p>Small modular nuclear reactors are very dangerous because they are not secured under heavy concrete and thus can easily blow up when something goes wrong. And something usually goes wrong.<p>Their reasoning for using nuclear is nonsensical. There is no reason why those green fuel generating facilities cannot be connected to the grid. And as far as building new power generation for the grid, renewable energy is already far cheaper than nuclear.
