We have to find a safe way to go nuclear.

It us the only viable way.

Not in drought conditions, it’s not:

It takes the same amount of water required by a city of 5 million to fuel a typical U.S. nuclear power plant for one hour: 30 million gallons, Fast Company reports.

We need energy sources that are as water-free as possible. The only “nuclear” option that comes close to fitting that bill is Thorium, which might be viable if only it could get the $72 billion in subsidies sucked up by oil.
