Do you want sustainablilty? Then think outside the box.



Thinking outside the box means thinking things that you have been led to believe are not helpful.   That is why you need to take a second look at nuclear power.  

There are ways to do nuclear which are much better than the conventional way.  The conventional way leads to much higher costs and is too inefficient to be cost effective.  A molten salt reactor, which was proven in concept over 40 years ago, can improve upon this greatly.  It hasn't been adopted due to the unwillingness of the system to look at innovative ways of solving the energy problem.

Nuclear power isn't something that people should be inordinately afraid of.  Like all power sources, it must be respected.  Although it can definitely cause harm, if properly managed, it can produce a lot more benefits than costs.  The risk can be managed.

So much for the soap box.  Here is a tweet that supports the viewpoint of this blog.
