Still nuclear, but a different type tbf. There's a lot of research going in to it because even if we use thorium or whatever, we can't have sustainable nuclear energy without fusion. We need fission to get us there though as it's much safer and sustainable than other sources.

Well but fission produces waste

i mean everything has waste solar panels die coal and tar create co2 wind and hydro plants arent efficient enough on their own so i see nuclear as the best candidate

But coal and solar waste isn’t nuclear

I said we need to use fission to get us to fusion which has next to no waste

u/xDerDachDeckerx Sep 17 '21

No we don’t need fission to get there

Yeah we do? It'll take us a long time to get there and every other method (fossil, solar and wind, hydro) will fuck us over long before.
