Unfortunately, due to historical details the slim type of nuclear that fits in a submarine became the industry standard, so for several decades nuclear wasn't as safe and clean as it could be. If we can get some of the better type of nuclear plants online that would really help. It would also drastically reduce our reasons to be involved in the middle east.
