I think nuclear power is the only way we can maintain our current civilization.

But I don't want to maintain our current civilization. I want something better. Our "consumer" culture is harmful to the human spirit, and it is harmful to our environment.

Either way, nuclear or not, fossil fuels have to be outlawed. But I doubt they will be and therefore this civilization will collapse in a very ugly manner.
