But seriously, I'm getting on board with nuclear... Statistics prove it's safety over other fuels, there's literally no emissions - and it powers a whole fleet of subs and Navy ships.
We need to think of solar/wind/hydro as supplements to the grid. It might take 100 more years to perfect solar farm technology/efficiency. Then there's that damn battery storage issue.
If we can keep the rampant corruption out of nuclear energy... we have a few Ohio politicians who are known to have sticky fingers. But I think nuclear is the next reliable energy source in place of fossil based fuels.

It is/was, but now you have to overcome the optics of TMI and Chernobyl to build any new plants.
