I guess we could both have been a bit more civil, and for my part, I offer my apologies. I get a bit testy with "Nuculer is teh evul!" posts.

It's dangerous; it's no magic bullet solution; it requires careful evaluation, careful engineering, and good human factors analysis. But we have to be cognizant of its advantages, as well, and of the real disadvantages of other methods, such as fossil fuel, hydroelectric, and fission. IMHO, there is no one magic bullet solution; we will need a spread of different solutions, ranging from conservation measures to fusion to wind and solar renewables. I think it may be irresponsible at this time to rule anything out.
