No it could not be the best bet to fight climate change - ever! Solar and wind are the best bets. Add in some geothermal and tidal energy and now we're making progress. Concentrated energy production (and I throw concentrated solar into this pile too) is always about a few controlling what is needed by the many to make a big dirty buck. There's a reason why we all have PC's and not wires connected to a bunch of mainframes. Decentralized power production is safer, makes far more sense and won't lead to another Fukushima. Funny how nuke plant stories can run without a mention of what the status of Fukushima might be? I say might be, because there are three cores that cannot be located and we still don't really know what the damage is or will be.
