Also, nearly every coal, gas and oil burning power plant can be replaced with a nuclear fission plant. It's not popular, sure, and it has a few of its own problems. But it's a mature technology with well understood risks that we can actively manage perfectly well. In fact, on a per kilowatthour basis nuclear fission energy is actually the safest of all known power generation systems, causing the least casualties both directly and indirectly. Orders of magnitude more people die for the same amount of electrical power generated by windmills and solar panels than they do of exposure to radiation produced by nuclear power plants.
Even including the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters.
