I'm personally pretty conflicted on the whole idea of nukes.  I think if done right, they are great, but we need to deal with things like waste storage and the fact that we seem to be stuck on pretty old technology.  Some other folks on here who know a ton more than I do about them talk about some newer technologies in reactors that are much safer, but we never hear about them in relation to building a new plant, it is always, the same tech that we have been using since the 1960s.
