We have the solution to our energy needs...

[Weltall]

Nuclear waste can be pretty well self-contained if enough effort is put into storage. And, of course, there will always be research into safer and more efficient methods. This research will progress much faster if there is a demand. Unfortunately, we seem too frightened of nothing to pursue the energy, even though there are nations like France that derive a majority of their energy in this fashion.

The Anti-nuclear crowd needs to realize it's not the 1970s anymore. Technology will improve. Eventually, there will be a safe method of disposal, and what we have now is hardly bad, all things considered.

It's a lot better than coal dust and spent hydrocarbons.
