Loads of people love to pretend an NPP is just a hut with a magic gem inside delivering an endless amount of power for free. In reality they are huge, highly complex, high-security facilities that take decades and billions to build and need to be operated and maintained by loads of highly trained staff in 24/7 shift operations. This isn't to downplay their merit of providing CO2 emission free power, but for the love of god please appreciate the enormous effort and expense this is achieved with, especially when comparing it to renewables.

Sighs in thorium LFTR reactor noises.

That technology is nowhere near mature enough to provide a solution to the mentioned problems in the next decade or two.

Well of course not, now. I never said it would fix the now problems we face. Had we started in the 1950s, or even the 70s, the impact of climate change would have been negligible and likely mitigated entirely by changes to society that we can't possibly speculate given our current world. Unfortunately, money and greed played yet another part in destroying our futures by those who won't be around to see what they've done or simply don't care.
