Spicy take: we need to curb our addiction to power sources.

Very true.

I would support reactors which aren’t designed to produce enriched uranium, don’t blowup when neglected, and don’t produce as much waste.

There has been some work on molten salt reactors recently, which look promising.

The main power utility in Idaho is looking into nuclear power generation. I'm pretty excited considering I'm in the utility industry.

Unfortunately tidal is actually not renewable.

This may sound stupid, but tidal probably destroys the environment faster than fossil power.
