>Its potential seems only to be matched by its risks.

Indeed, but the thing is, with nuclear we're still talking about risks, while with other non-renewables, we're always talking about certain damage (despite the enormity of Chernobyl or other leakage sites, overall the actual damage is minor). You've got to pit the non-renewables against each other, as currently it's clear that no non-renewable will be able to take over, at least not to a degree that would justify either its cost or its aesthetical damage. And, if hypothetically speaking wind farms could ever become viable (which I think they won't and can't), that point is so far in the future that ecological meltdown will be not only under way (which it is now), but over. Letting this happen while there is an alternative technology staring us in the face is an atrocity.

The only really HUGE risk of going for nuclear, is that research on renewables will suffer the same fate as reserach on nuclear has... and thàt would be short-sighted. For the furure is either in less dependency on energy or renewable sources. And since the first won't happen...
