You say nuclear isn't dangerous because of all the safety measures, yet here you're qualifying those safety measures as mere overreaction.

Not to be pedantic, but nothing is going to solve it. We're talking about efforts to mitigate it.

I thought it’s more just that nuclear power plants aren’t economically or politically viable any more, since wealthy governments are no longer subsidizing them with their massive and growing nuclear weapons programs.
If it can solve global warming in 20 years, that's an easy win to take. There is no emergency forcing anything faster, and I doubt that it's even possible to find a cure (that isn't worse than the disease) that works faster anyway.
