In the final months of his presidency, Donald Trump ordered nuclear energy to be tested on the moon by 2027, as well as the development of nuclear-powered spacecraft that would orbit the Earth, the moon and outer space.
He also ordered the development of micro nuclear reactors small enough that they could fit inside a typical shipping truck that zips cargo along the highway.
During this period, the media was busy reporting on the Jan. 6 riots, insurrection and false accusations of voter fraud and few paid attention.
However, these orders may offer clues about what was included in some of the Top Secret folders squirreled away in Mar-a-Lago.

(10,895 posts)The concept is being pursued by Bill Gates, Rolls Royce, and others.
It would be a way to wean ourselves off of coal and other dirty power sources, as well as a way to load balance solar/wind power.

(101,307 posts)when it was copied from Raw Story to MSN. The original Raw Story article makes grammatical sense, and this changes, for instance, a paragraph starting "and is developing small reactors that..." to "The Biden Administration has embraced a similar idea and is developing small reactors that...".
