    NuScale's plans are ambitious, but its skyrocketing expenses forced it to cancel the construction of its six nuclear reactors in Idaho last year and lay off 40% of its workforce this year.

  9. Soft energy path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_energy_path

    Solar energy technologies, such as solar water heaters, located on or near the buildings which they supply with energy, are a prime example of a soft energy technology.. In 1976, energy policy analyst Amory Lovins coined the term soft energy path to describe an alternative future where energy efficiency and appropriate renewable energy sources steadily replace a centralized energy system based ...
