We do. It's called nuclear power.

It's just that all the deep thinkers won't stop complaining about safety problems that don't exist, and won't stop pushing for solar, which has burned literal tens of literal trillions of dollars without succeeding, when 2t is all you need to finish the job with nuclear

I love fission, but it's really not a silver bullet here. But yeah, it'd be great if we could get out of our own way, and modernize some of the regulation around it. Allowing fuel reprocessing in the US and loosening up around low grade waste seems like it'd help a lot.

"it's really not a silver bullet"

Uh okay, it's just everything we need, the safest, the cheapest, and one of only three zero-carbon options (the other of which is drying up in the heat, and the third of which has never scaled past 0.1%)

Sure, it's been delivering 25% of our grid for 70 years basically without a hiccup, but it's "not a silver bullet" in some undescribed way

.

"Allowing fuel reprocessing in the US"

Completely unnecessary

Don't checklist opposition. We can go without with no problems
