solar and wind are great but the fact of the matter is they are unreliable. Nuclear is the perfect option. EVEN if the current form of nuclear is not an ideal solution, it is better than using fossil fuels until we fund thorium and fusion enough for it to become viable.

for sure, but nuclear fission like we are doing it right now is definetely not sustainable. we can do it for like a hundred more years, then the waste really starts piling up.
