Here is an interesting debate on Nuclear vs Wind/Solar. I agree with Mark that going Nuclear is not worth the risk of proliferation. However, if a breakthrough like TeraPower as outlined by Bill Gates in another TED talk becomes possible, I will change my view. I do think that we need to invest in all possibilities as we never know where the silver bullet might come from.
