How to scale up nuclear power enough to [[decarbonize energy]]?

==Things that won't work==

* [[Conventional nuclear power]] - Uranium-235 is too scarce.
* [[Small nuclear reactors]] - Same scarcity, plus greater risk of weapons proliferation.
* Uranium-238 [[breeder reactors]] - Abundant fuel, but still a weapons proliferation risk.
* Hydrogen [[fusion]] - Will probably be viable in the distant future, but we can't wait around.

==Projects needed==
* '''[[Thorium breeder reactors]]''' - Safe reactors that run on very abundant fuel
