small nuclear power generators: a new path for nuclear power?

Here is a very interesting article about a Santa Fe, NM company that has developed a garden shed sized nuclear power generator that still generates enough power to provide energy for approximately 20,000 homes. The company claims more than $2 billion worth of orders. This is really neat news. Let's just hope that the environmentalist wackos (like some of the commenters on the cited article) don't put the kibosh on it before it even gets started.
