IMO we should be seriously investigating nuclear energy fueled by Thorium instead of uranium. Thorium is plentiful and extremely difficult to weaponize. Using "molten salt" reactors, there is no chance of what we term "meltdowns."
The U.S. experimented with Thorium in the late '50s, but went the uranium route instead (perhaps with Pentagon urging).
There are technical issues, to be sure, but other countries already have Thorium reactors under construction.
