Nuclear is expensive and dangerous to life. It should be avoided going forward.

Still way less deaths compared to what fossil fuels already did to us (not to mention the rest of nature), like cancer, mining related nastiness including transport, etc. Also there is more radioactive pollution from coal than nuclear plants (bcs of the volume & exhausts dumped into the air).

I want to do more research in Thorium reactors. They are much safer than uranium.
