They lied to you about nuclear energy.
Fear is an extremely powerful motivator.

So many States and municipalities are trying to force us onto electricity for everything. Our cars, homes, yard maintenance equipment and whatever else they can think of. They want to get rid of all fossil fuel to the extent possible. That's fine. There's a lot of advantage to that. But it seems to me we're putting the cart before the horse. If we switch, we first need the capacity, and we don't have it. And just as bad, the power transmission infrastructure is aged and already feeling the strain. 

Nuclear power solves half the problem. We've let fear keep us from one of the best options by far, in my opinion. Maybe we should stop being afraid and just look at the facts?

Data centers are driving up the cost for those who share their power grid. Allowing them modular reactors seems like the perfect solution.

This solution would be at least 25 years away IMO.  It can turn into a solar mess where there is no infrastructure but a demand to be there before possible.  Could be a good idea if you can get past the fear and do it right.  That is a high hill to climb.
