Maybe it's time to look at building the molten salt reactor fueled by thorium-232 dissolved in molten fluoride salts. Unlike uranium-235, thorium-232 is commonly found on Earth, the Moon and possibly even Mars, and this nuclear reactor uses fuel in liquid form, which means there's no such thing as a meltdown.

That's right.

And no CO2 emissions.

Watching global warmers' heads explode is a bonus.
