Nukes are making a comeback now, SMR's MSR's LFTR's. Ultimately burning dinosaurs IS unsustainable. The current CO2 injection should stave off the Ice Age for hundreds of years.

Hope so. Some of the new ones are incredible.

Obviously, if the ever get fusion going, that would be preferable.

LFTR, is that the one that eats the radioactive stuff and ends up relatively clean waste??

Thorium/ fluorine salt...and yes I believe it could be configured to breed fuel as well as convert old waste.

I remember reading about the Thorium reactors maybe 10 years or so ago on WattsUpWithThat.com and NextBigFuture.com.
