you got to look at the big picture- these little babies have the potential to put a hurtin on the big utilities. All the PowerPacs are in the lobbies to keep these items low profile. Hyperion is looking for a site for construction either in NM or Idaho. Because of design these micro nukes can be on line and in service in about 5 years. Utilities have traditionally charged small communities more money for power due to T&D, fuel adjustment etc which actually that capital is not stranded and was realized years ago. so the small community serves as a cash cow for the big power companies. Hyperion design can cut out T&D cost, fuel adjustment etc and get the kilowatt hour charge back to 1980 rates pretty damn quick, putting more money back into the middle class pocket.
