6. One more reason to be replacing / updating our nuclear powerplants

Modern molten salt and thorium designs are much safer and more efficient than the old reactors in place.

Wind and solar are desirable but their variable nature makes them poor choices for base load supply. Updated nuclear is needed so we can cut fossil fuels
