Nuclear energy was the energy of yesterday, not tomorrow. It got tanked in large part by concerted efforts from soviet propaganda that were delivered to a receptive audience in the hardcore environmentalist movement of the time. So disappointing. It's still better than oil, and that's what makes the situation even worse. A technology that could be outdated is more up-to date than the current technology in use.
I'm a big fan of nuclear, but ultimately see it as a stopping point between current practices and a better approach. If you're looking for green energy, why not focus on things that are actually green..hehehe? Energy tech isn't going to be the silver bullet that solves our "energy problem". That's going to take massive revision in passive designs, infrastructure, urban planning, related technologies (appliances etc) as well as changes in our culture and what we use energy for, how we use it, and how much we use, in short..we need to rethink ourselves from the bottom up because what we've been doing is not working, and is a legacy of our ignorance with respect to this issue.
