The ability of the human mind to solve problems is matched only by its ability to create new ones; but in this case it looks like we are on the "solving problems" end of the equation. A company has developed what they call a "nuclear battery". This is a small self-contained energy producing unit that can produce enough juice to run a small town (25,000 people) for five years at a go. It uses a sort of controlled reaction to generate heat which is then used to drive a steam turbine.
Getting this sort of thing past the Government regulators will be the fun part, I am sure.
