Friends of Fission Midwest

 I came to the conclusion long ago that nuclear fission was needed to power our cities, industry and travel. I also realized that to reduce our carbon footprint across the board, we'd need a full electric society. Everything that can be powered by CLEAN electricity should be. And with that much demand for clean electric power nuclear fission has done this job safely for decades. We need MORE of it. To do this, electricity must be so inexpensive that it would seem silly to use expensive fossil fuels. Nuclear can do this. Switching to a full electric society also creates jobs in designing, building and installing new products to  convert from fossil fuel use to electric power. This  will boost economies as well with good paying jobs. Mostly, we don't even need miracle inventions - existing technology, some of it quite well established, can be swiftly integrated - if only electricity was CHEAP and CLEAN it could be put in place immediately. Back when I had this epiphany, the...

Welcome to the Friends of Fission - Midwest Blog Our mission is to promote the use of nuclear fission in the upper Midwest, nationally, and worldwide. We are about activism , not so much about education in all things fission. At times, we will include snapshots that highlight progress and show the advantages of nuclear fission - the MOST RELIABLE, GREENEST and SAFEST form of electricity generation. Many of the Friends of Fission are folks who have worked in the fission power industry and have vast technical knowledge. Every one of us is an "environmentalist" who supports clean air, clean water, and a reduced carbon footprint for the planet. Those who are not in the industry are highly educated on fission power through years of self-study. We hope that if you are joining this blog you too are an environmentalist who believes that a clean energy future will be optimized through the expansion of fission power to replace polluting sources of energy. This is not exclusive of worki...
