tbh the problem is every other option governments sugegsts get shot down by some group of people or another.

For instance nucleur, afaik this is clean energy apart from the waste it produces. But ovbiously that can be dealt with to a certaiin extent the problem is the length of time it takes for the stuff to become safe lol.

Howveer the suggestion of this gets idiots like green peace running around saying its bad etc.

Sure the waste is abd but is it as bad as what the current dmg were doing to the environment would be ?
