> inherently safe

I'm not against nuclear per se. But we've been lied to many many times by that industry's spokesliars. I'll believe that when the industry gets its own adequate private insurance and pays for storage forever for their waste products.

So far NO insurance company has been willing to take the gamble and even governments are unwilling to store or even move the waste.

Until then... they're just fucking liars and we're idiots for allowing it.

> The problem with solar is storage

It's not a big problem. It will be solved. After all we store chemical energy in big giant tanks that occasionally blow up right now in addition to ugly polluting refineries that catch fire.

In addition geo is theoretically the cheapest form of electrons which is why bitcoin miners and aluminum smelters moved to Iceland.

American Companies Still Make Aluminum. In Iceland.

We have plenty of potential geo to round out safer more economical forms of energy. In the Salton Sea area companies are making lithium with the heat byproduct of huge geo potential. It just takes some time to get it all up and running.

My ex's parents live near one of these refineries. I wouldn't.

In molten salt reactors iodine and caesium – and other fission products – are ionically bound.
