Nuclear could have saved the world 30 years ago. I'm afraid it's just too risky now. Nuclear is not dangerous if we have organized human life managing it. However, the risks are such that there may not be the know-how or organization in the future to keep the plants going or have an organized decommissioning of the existing plants.
The technology change would also need to be drastic because we cannot rely on cold ocean waters to cool the plants.
In other words, we should have done it 30 years ago when the risk of societal collapse wasn't so great and we had the confidence that we can maintain this technology.
