There is now breakthrough technology in nuclear that might get the public to accept it. The Japanese, I believe it was Hitachi, have produced a modular, sealed, intrinsically, safe reactor cooled by sodium in gravitational convection. There isn't enough fissile material in the thing for it to melt down. There is no steam. It is SMALL, a power plant would easily fit on a half city block. They build a concrete silo and drop it in ready to go. When it's done in fifty years, pull it from the silo intact and replace it.

It's clean, efficient, cheap, fast, and safe.

That's fascinating. That's the first I've ever heard about it. How could it work without producing steam?
