    I told you so.

    We need more nuclear power.

    To those that say choosing nuclear power is just choosing death from radiation than climate change I say you need to look at molten salt reactors. MSRs will "eat" radioactive waste from current nuclear reactors and make it inert, while producing electricity and valuable radioisotopes for medicine and industry.

    Another response to the nuclear opponents, I thought climate change was a worldwide problem that was going to kill us all so anything must be better than that.

      This is effectively what I'm hearing consistently from a friend who is a nuclear engineer. The fear of "nuclear", coupled with the directly associated regulatory environment, have crippled investment and development. Who's going to put millions into commercialization when the democratic fear state makes the resulting technology illegal?
