Nuclear power is the only option available to us. If you concentrated all of the toxins that are byproducts of photovoltaic panels you’d end up with more crap that you’d have to bury in 55 gallon drums than for the equivalent yield of nuclear fuels. Yes - nuclear waste is nasty stuff, but it comes in concentrated, easy to track form as opposed to the often airborne wastes from other sources.

Yep… Silicon wafer fabrication is a nasty business, lots of nasty stuff used in the process.
