Knoxville. It is unnecessary and ~ore expensive than safer energy options.
And the nuclear waste it would generate doesn't have a good place to go. If Texas is considered for that, we don't want their radioactive waste to be stored in, or shipped across our state.
Also, nuclear electricity is an increasingly poor investment (not even counting the huge cost overruns for building nuclear reactors) since safer, renewable energy, including wind and solar, is much less expensive, and the price for it will continue to drop, as those technologies become more efficient, and their fuels are free.
It's this project is not just a risky investment, it has increasing risk of having to shut down at times, in a changing climate, with more prolonged droughts, because there wouldn't be sufficient water to safely operate the reactor, as has happened in France.
So save taxpayers lots of wasted tax dollars, don't expose us to more risk from unsafe and unreliable energy, and more radioactive waste with no good place to go, when we have much better options. It just doesn't make any sense.
