4. No thank you!

Nuclear power is a short-term solution with long-term dangers of serious proportion. Nuclear power plants are dependent on a stable civilization with highly-skilled technical support staff. To believe that we can sustain those conditions for decades, until the decommissioning of the plant, is highly optimistic. We're likely to face substantial social unrest just within the next 20 years as the disruptive effects of escalating climate change grow stronger. It's also quite feasible that there will be a collapse of central authority -- civilizations fail quickly -- and our society's ability to maintain these plants will crumble. I'd rather have less volatile power sources as we march through the rest of this century. It's going to be a very rough ride.
