    Well nuclear energy is fine as long as nuclear recycling is legal (it isn’t in the USA). Because nuclear waste is 97% pure fuel.

      somebody better tell Oklo then. they’re spending almost 2B to build one in Oak Ridge lol. also, that 97% comes with a LOT of caveats. regardless, nuclear is such a great base load for the US, and we need to focus on grid supplementation to ease base load operations, anyway.
