This is what we ARE doing with our (2nd generation) Uranium Nuclear Reactor... which is very unsafe, meltdown-prone, create lots of nuclear waste and expensive!
( its "other" MAIN purpose is to produce nuclear bomb raw material!!!
Uranium Reactor was DESIGN to produce nuclear BOMB raw material !!! )
Wind, Wave, Geo, Solar, Bio, hydro are all good, but these green energy will not be enough for us to cut significant amount of global carbon while providing the ever-increasing global energy demand...
However, with (4th generation) Thorium Nuclear Reactor would potentially solve ALL our problems!!
Fail-Safe, vastly cheaper, almost impossible to meltdown, and much much harder to make a bomb with it!
NASA scientist : With just 2% of the world's power generated by non-hydropower renewables like solar and wind, only a rapid expansion of nuclear power can realistically slash use of coal and other fossil fuels within the next 30 years. But the public's emotional, "quasi-religious" rejection of nuclear power is holding back much-needed R&D that would bring advanced nuclear technologies into the energy mix, that would largely solve environmental and safety problems that have spooked the public.
WE need to be braver and bolder about studying ADVANCED nuclear energy and communicating it publicly.

FYI, With the recent nuclear accidents, the global nuclear power industry has seen deterioration over recent years, but nevertheless, the industry is expected to expand and post a strong growth rate. Having revenues of nearly USD 140 Billion in 2013, there are over 400 civil nuclear power reactors in operation around the world today, with the US accounting for nearly one third of the world's nuclear electricity.
