    although nuclear technology is high risk and high reward.

    i think we should give it a chance who knows when thorium based reactors come along?

      Still waiting on thorium and fusion reactors to be a thing. If nuclear is a necessity in the meanwhile, the least they can do is to build them in a place far away enough from the general population and natural resources, that way the containment zone in case of a breach would be a lesser loss.

        I really hope that thorium and fusion get the r&d & implementation they deserve. It seems we as a species have given nuclear a bad rap because the consequences of nuclear power when they occur are simply more visible than it’s counter parts.
