Wouldn't relatively - small, easily - refueled, modular nuclear generators, sited below ground near point of use and augmented with rooftop
solar in warm climes, enable «mini-grids» to power sub-communities and small towns without extensive transmission lines?
Cooling systems have to work harder
in warm climates, but the extra sun can make
solar panels more productive than they are
in cooler
climes, says Joseph Vigil, an architect based
in Boulder, Colo..
