President Barack Obama has announced more than $8bn (£5bn) of federal loan guarantees to begin building the first US nuclear power stations for 30 years.
Two new plants are to be constructed in the state of Georgia by US electricity firm Southern Company.
Today Obama did more to cut carbon emissions then George Bush, Bill Clinton, Bush's old man, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter did... COMBINED!
Ok, Ok, nuclear reactors are bad because their primary fuel is the most toxic substance known to man, and accidents at nuclear reactors can quickly turn into catastrophic disasters, and more nuclear reactors mean more nuclear proliferation...
However, it has to be possible to make a nuclear reactor that doesn't melt down, or release radioactive isotopes into the groundwater supply.
LOOK WE NEED ELECTRICITY! And reactors will work on nights when its not windy, and the only other option is solar and wind!
Also, if the last reactor was built 30 years ago, they last a long time.
And as for what to do with all the spent nuclear fuel... well, we will get back to you on that, in the mean time, keep them in those giant swimming pools that are on site at the nuclear plant.
