Nuclear power is one of our most potent tools to achieve full carbon neutrality within a timeline that will allow our societies to survive climate change.https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/status/1276218716355608576 …

The sad thing is, instead of Uranium we could have used Thorium which is a much safer and cleaner possibility, and therefore would be much cheaper to build a Thorium nuclear power station. The reason we use Uranium? You can use it to make weapons.

Thorium is just a thought bubble. Unproven. Zero working reactors. Another "great idea" that may or more likely may not work.

It's sadly ironic how much long-term environmental damage Greenpeace and other anti-nuclear-power activists did through fear-mongering that effectively halted deployment of nuclear power in many regions.

So no artificial carbon sinks are able to remove carbon from the atmosphere on the necessary scale to fight global warming at the moment, what timeline or estimate do you see for the advancement of nuclear power to help in this way?

No, it’s not. I mean, I get that EDF/GDF/Areva wishful think that. But not you. What do you/we do of the nuclear waste meanwhile (while the half-life of Pu - - U byproduct - - decreases)?
Trust me (or not), IMHO know a bit about the thing :) -
Nuclear is "just" a short cut to not do the (hard) job of promoting Green energy. Convenient in countries where most electricity comes from the atom (>75% in France for eg.). On another side, others like Denmark won't have that issue
We can buy them energy then.

And carbon capture possibly, and more R&D in general. Less subsidies current inefficient stuff and more of that money spent on R&D. If a new green technology is cheaper than fossil fuels even poor countries will use it.
