How many BTUs does your average nuclear reactor generate?

How many BTUs will second generation fusion reactors generate?

Diversification of the energy supply would make us more energy independent.


It takes 10 years for a Nuclear plant to go from idea to in-service, and the NRC has made it so expensive to build them that only one has started construction over the last 30+ years.

And no one wants to hold the Nuclear waste in their state. We spent billions on Yucca Mountain, but Obama gave Harry Reid a handy by stopping further construction in 2008.
