Hi Raj,

I think for one a good idea would be to build a lot more nuclear power plants. Only now, first we need to come up with a very good way to dispose of the waste - perhaps a launchpad well away from populated areas, a new rocket firing the waste into the sun (don't laugh this is on the table now and NASA is working on it). The problem is the cost would be prohibitive with chemical fuel. However, we do have technology for nuclear rocketry that stopped being tested three decades ago. It is promising.

Most of all, the plants need to be built deep underground, sealed off so that if there are accidents they will be easy to seal off. The French obtain most of their national electricity needs from nuclear power. I think it's the right choice, IF done carefully and securely. That is of course the question.
