Today, most of the electricity consumed in the U.S. and the rest of the world is being generated by the burning of fossil fuels. Even larger quantities of fossil fuels are being burned to meet other demands imposed by the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. Yet there is a cleaner, more economical and much safer way to generate electricity. The Gas Turbine-Modular Helium Reactor (GT-MHR) is a new turbine generating system powered by a passively-safe nuclear reactor. It eliminates the need to make steam to produce electricity, and frees us from the pollution and waste of fossil-fuel generating plants. It could also strengthen our energy security and help to reduce our 700 billion dollar a year deficit for foreign oil
