Still, PBR (lol, not the beer) should be enacted. Cheap, no risk of meltdown and uses LEU. What's not to love aside from having to build lots to replace one regular heavy water reactor?
That said, there are terawatts upon terawatts of power in our oceans that we're not harnessing. I'd love to see us harness enough power from the oceans so that nuclear transmutation becomes economically profitable.
