Nukes to Nuclear Energy: How America can start making money

So everyone knows Ron Paul's book Swords into Plowshares (I have yet to read it) but simply Ron Paul an advocate of Anti-war policies suggests we should turn away from the war industry as much as possible because war as is, is expensive & puts us into Debt, I agree mostly.

Recently, It's been a thought on my head what do we do that with Nukes though, as an Environmentalist & a Conservative I always felt a stigma around Nuclear Bombs & The Production of Them, not that we can't have Nukes but I am heavily opposed to Nuclear Proliferation & up to recently I had been opposed to Nuclear energy until I watched a Vox video that explained how newer technologies are getting rid of & replacing all the problems with The Nuclear Energy of old, & thus it is because of this video I have changed my opinion on Nuclear energy & thus strengthened my opposition to Nuclear Proliferation.

I believe that with the proper resources & research we can start to transition majority of our Nuclear Bombs into a greener & safer nuclear energy form, then we can use this newly acquired energy source & start exporting energy for money to help pay off our Debt, & supplying our troops with more translators, doctors, medical, food, water, & clothing supplies, and bullets & guns as well as taking care of The VA, etc., instead of wasting Millions to Trillions of dollars to create & maintain bombs that realistically & hopefully we will never have to use.

On top of this I have estimated (based off some light research) that if we were to sell every single bomb in our arsenal it would be about 1 Trillion dollars worth, which if used instantly could be used to effectively pay off 5% or 1/20th of our National  Debt.

Also, it seems the reasons we have problems with countries like Russia, Iran, & North Korea pursuing Nuclear Bombs is because they A. Fear our Nuclear Power & B. Believe if their country were to acquire a Nuclear Bomb big countries & entities like America, China, & The UN would seek to leave them alone as The Threat of Mutually Assured Destruction would thus loom over our head(s) (I'm however not sure if these countries understand The concept of MAD but rather simply they see us as bullies & That Nukes stops bullies)

So therefore in conclusion I think within the next couple of years as new infrastructure & technology starts to get built & rolled out, we should seek to dismantle, repurpose, or sell off majority if not all of our Nuclear Arsenal to improve our economic, diplomatic, & environmental standing in the world.
