- kelnos 9y agoTwo issues with that: 1) We still haven't solved the nuclear waste disposal issue. 2) Even if fears around #1 are overblown, "if we wanted to" is the rub: there's very little political or public will to move any meaningful amount of energy production to nuclear, and in some places in the world, countries are actually retiring nuclear plants as the age and replacing them with something else.
