Nuclear power

(The lesson of Fukushima is, don't build nuclear power plants near an earthquake fault, i.e., anywhere in Japan.)

You have to build them in accordance to local conditions. We have a nuclear reactor in South Florida that had the eye of a category 5 hurricane with gusts approaching 200mph move directly over head and in the 29 years since that storm, we have never had a problem. It was built to withstand local extreme conditions.
 
You mean, hydrogen fuel cell cars?

The nuclear fuel cells.


Small Nuclear Power Reactors

As nuclear power generation has become established since the 1950s, the size of reactor units has grown from 60 MWe to more than 1600 MWe, with corresponding economies of scale in operation. At the same time there have been many hundreds of smaller power reactors built for naval use (up to 190 MW thermal) and as neutron sources, yielding enormous expertise in the engineering of small power units.
