Nuke power

Many who have followed the problem of climate change know that replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar will not work using current technology. There is a place for all forms of energy and all should be pursued. The reason that wind and solar are in the news is that these also include social change which means moving away from free market capitalism to democratic socialism. In plain words more government jobs and fewer private industry jobs. One example is the use of thorium power plants. These plants produce electric energy without any carbon foot print. Going to this type of power would solve the problem of climate change but it would not involve the social changes. Thorium nuke plants are safe because they cannot melt down and do not use water for cooling. They also use up stored radioactive materials as fuel. All current nuke plants should be replaced with thorium plants and any new plants build should be thorium.
