I'm personally a fan of investing in thorium which is cheaper and safer. Thorium reactors also happen to use molten salt for cooling meaning that you don't need to build them next to large bodies of water. The only reason uranium is used traditionally is because it doubles up as weapon material.

Yes, that's a great point. 100% pro thorium. China is leading commercialization of thorium reactors. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/thorium-molten-salt-nuclear-reactor-china

I'm really excited about this tech too.
