I am in favour of nuclear but some of the arguments you hear from advocates make my skin crawl.  The caution people exercise over nuclear power is exactly what we should want for any activity that carries risk to health or the environment.  Radioactive material is very dangerous, and fission is intrinsically difficult to control.  We may be able to successfully deal with those risk, but it is intellectually dishonest to pretend that those risks don&#x27;t exist just because physicists are so wonderfully clever.<p>The problem is not lack of support for nuclear but tolerance for dirty and unsafe fossil fuels.  We need to deal with that using nuclear or solar or whatever.
