I agree. Nuclear is a big part of the future, but not the breeder reactors we have right now. We need to shift to safer nuclear. Salt based reactors seems to be the future. Ironically, that is actually going back in time. Molten salt reactors were the choice of the eggheads, because they were so safe, but they didn't create plutonium for bomb manufacturing so the military said shelve that idea. Small salt based reactors could be built quickly and placed directly in the middle of communities. Could be the game changer we need and the tech to support solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, etc.
