I used to know a very smart and very frustrated nuclear engineer.
Nuclear power is the best shot we've got of (1) generating enough power for our needs, and (2) avoiding coal/oil (and therefore dependencies on the producing countries).
He knew nuclear technology inside out upside down, and he was a northern lad, completely down to earth, and if he told me that nuclear energy was the safest and best option, then I'm a believer - and pls don't anyone say that "he would say that, it was his job" - this guy was so smart he could do any type of engineering, and God knows he wasn't going to be a millionaire.
Nuclear is the way forward - fission or fusion.
