All we have to rely on are bloated statistics form the Irish Wind Energy Association. Ireland should be seriously contemplating the adoption of small modular nuclear reactors as a means of electricity generation. The additional reason for interest in small modular nuclear reactors is that they can more readily slot into brownfield sites, in place of existing coal-fired plants, such as Moneypoint, Co Clare. Small modular nuclear reactors development is proceeding in Western countries with private investment. Energy generation from small modular nuclear reactors enables the deployment of affordable clean energy, without carbon dioxide emissions.
