Let's have decentralized, distributed solar arrays on the homes and businesses across Southern California and the rest of the USA, tied into the grid, selling power to the companies at a fair rate. Millions of panels, replacing these plants.
In other words you would support MSR thorium based tech, after a breach the reaction stops and the compounds are volitile for months or a couple years, not decades. That and if there is a breach none of the volitiles are under pressure so they don't tend to "blow" out, more like creep out.
