      If you put economics before the environment then sure, nuclear’s not viable, never was.

      And oil’s only viable because of mass subsidies and tax exemptions.

          Those molten salt reactors can run on what the current reactors create as nuclear waste. They actually help with the cleanup process by breaking the radioactive waste down to a few very short lived ions that cease to be radioactive quite quickly. The other nice part about them is that you can’t make weapons with them.

            I’m in favor of subsidizing nuclear reactors that can reuse waste. That’s a better idea than the current strategy of letting it sit around, or the potential future of burying it and hoping nobody digs it up again millennia from now.

            There is little other reason to bother with nuclear anymore.
