Based on my limited understanding of the safety of current designs, nuclear seems to be the only physically workable option other than fossil fuels. I'm just not at all sure it's politically workable in the US. There are a lot of greenies who don't distinguish what would be nice versus actual reality. The reality is, for large scale production the only choices are fossil fuels and nuclear. I'm not sure enough voters live in reality,
though. For SO many, their thinking on all issues seems to be "I would like it if X were true, therefore X is true." Substitute "we can get all of our energy from seaweed" for X, and you see the problem. Same as "there are lots of billionaires to buy everything for me".
