Is It Time For More Nuclear Power? Why Are Most Americans So Afraid of Radiation - Don't They Know Its Always Been Surrounding Us? Perhaps Nuclear Energy Just Needs A Good TikTok Video?

<p>The Best Paragraph I've Read:</p> <p><br></p> <p>To fully understand progress, we must contrast it with non-progress. Of particular interest are the technologies that have failed to live up to the promise they seemed to have decades ago. And few technologies have failed more to live up to a greater promise than nuclear power.</p> <p>In the 1950s, nuclear was the energy of the future. Two generations later, it provides <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/nuclear-energy#what-share-of-electricity-comes-from-nuclear" target="_blank">only about 10% of world electricity</a>, and reactor design hasn‘t fundamentally changed in decades. (Even “advanced reactor designs” are based on concepts first tested in the 1960s.)</p> <p><br></p> <p>This paragraph comes from a blog post on the website The Roots of Progress. &nbsp;The post is titled: "Why has nuclear power been a flop?" &nbsp;The post is written by Jason Crawford. &nbsp;You can read the article here:</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://rootsofprogress.org/devanney-on-the-nuclear-flop">https://rootsofprogress.org/devanney-on-the-nuclear-flop &nbsp;</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Zac and Don are joined by Duane DeMore who is a Health Physicist with Chesapeake Nuclear Services. &nbsp;The discussion centers around why nuclear power has never taken a large share of the energy market in America and in the world. &nbsp;Mr. DeMore shares his expertise on radiation and helps Zac and Don think about the data when it comes to nuclear power and society. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
