I'm not sure the nuclear refugees from Chernobyl and Fukushima would agree with your assessment that those disasters were fictional. Sadly they were all too real. Will we ever be able to retrieve the corium from reactors in Fukushima? It's so hot in there even robots get fried within minutes.

Why can't we scale up wind? Too loud/ugly? What's the big downside there?
