If we get to the point where we can't supply all our needs perhaps replace the remaining coal fired stations with failsafe nuclear (cores that can't melt down).
There are headwinds from vested interests but the silver lining is that a bit of time is needed anyway for the products to become economic to install.

I agree. There is no better way to teach folk about energy consumption than to run off a battery bank... It is a bank, savings bank, where you must deposit before you withdraw.
Thorium seemed like a good idea but it does not produce weapons grade stuff..... so its a little better than useless.
After the next nuclear war we will be ok as there will be less people and a dust shroud to blot out the Sun... I am very positive we can get by.
