So, what is the solution? More fossil fuels?
Fortunately, there is a solution, and that is molten-salt reactors. They can run on any fissionable fuel, which includes nuclear waste from existing reactors. From that waste alone, they could power this country's electrical needs at the current level for decades to come, without mining an ounce of uranium. Ninety nine percent of the waste will be used up, and the rest will decay into harmlessness in 300 years. That may seem like a long time, but you could encapsule the waste in concrete and sink it into the deepest part of the oceans. It could stay there until the end of time, and nobody will be the wiser.
