Nuclear Energy is the energy solution for the future. All of the known oil reserves are inadequate to meet the growing worldwide demand for energy. Burning fuels produces harmful greenhouse gasses and solar, wind, and other alternative sources will not keep up with demand. Nuclear reactions produce millions of times more energy per atom than combustion and they don't produce greenhouse gasses.

According to the World Nuclear Association, about 50 nuclear power reactors are currently being constructed in 13 countries, notably China, South Korea and Russia. Recognition that nuclear energy is the only solution to meet the growing energy demand is expected to dramatically increase nuclear plant construction over the next decade. The UAE alone has awarded a $20 Billion contract for four new nuclear power plants.

It is noteworthy that in the 1980s, 218 power reactors were commissioned, an average of one every 17 days. These included 47 in the USA, 42 in France and 18 in Japan. The average power was 923.5 MWe so it is not hard to imagine a similar number of reactors being commissioned in the decade following 2015. But with China and India getting up to speed with nuclear energy and a world energy demand doubling between 1980 and 2015, a realistic estimate of demand might be the equivalent of one 1000 MWe unit worldwide every 5 days.

While the investment of billions of dollars annually will help meet the demand for energy, conventional nuclear reactor technology comes at the unacceptable price of a worldwide increase in hazardous waste. Breeder reactors to reprocess spent hazardous waste create the potential to produce nuclear weapons materials. New hot fusion reactor designs that do not produce hazardous waste are stymied by costly engineering problems that remain unsolved after years of research.

A safe Green Nuclear Energy reactor that produces energy without producing greenhouse gasses or hazardous waste is needed. The Global Energy Corporation is experimenting with a Green Nuclear Energy reactor named GeNiE that produces energy without the drawbacks of conventional nuclear reactors. In fact, the GeNiE Reactor can use either un-enriched uranium or current hazardous waste as fuel to produce green energy.
