Indeed! Nuclear breeder reactors, which have been the long-term plan all along, are just as sustainable as wind and solar on Earth. It's sad how many people have forgotten about breeder reactors. One of the first reactors ever built on the planet was designed to prove that breeding was possible, which it did in 1952. [1]

Plus, nuclear makes heat and electricity. The heat can be used to help with building heating directly with conventional reactors, and can help with industrial processes as well. Higher-temperature reactors can more directly handle industrial process heat.
