James Muckerheide - 2005 Jul: The nuclear power industry can be the wealth generating machine for the next century. We need to do more in the world to bring everyone into the economic mainstream. Our current methods of generating energy are leading us into resource wars, world scale pollution, high costs associated with energy alternatives that are detrimental to our well being. our energy demand will be three times larger in 2050 than it was in 2000. Nuclear energy can be produced as a reasonable cost. It may be possible to satisfy one third of the 2050 demand using nuclear technology. That will be eighteen times our current nuclear energy output. To achieve both the cost and quality factors needed, a mass production approach will have to be used to build reactors. This will involve a large scale industrial increase in basic products such as cement and steel. The initiative will have to be strategically planned and closely monitored. The benefits of this world scale project would be significant. The world could be a much better place for almost everyone.
