28. Safely?
My father worked at Hanford for a big chunk of his career. The underground tanks leaked. Cesium contaminated the groundwater and leeched into the Columbia River. Thusly, also the waterlife, the Pacific Ocean and points beyond.

I'm not predisposed against nuclear energy but asserting a safety that isn't necessarily there doesn't move the yardsticks forward for me. I also see the folly of fossil fuels.

Tidal generators, solar, wind and biomass seem the likeliest of suspects.
