Risks like that are probably why they don't exist.
As far as nuclear power, I don't like it at all, and it's not completely a "renewable resource" since it uses mined resources, but they do have larger stockpiles than oil and stuff I believe, so it certainly would last a lot longer... but until we figure out what to do with the waste, I don't think we should be making any more nuclear plants. We should work on solving that problem, though... you're probably right, even though I really, really dislike the idea of having more nuclear power, if oil and natural gas starts to run out, what else can we do? Coal, even those so-called "clean coal" plants, is incredibly polluting... nuclear is too of course, with the waste... yeah, there are no good answers.
