The way I've see, for all the noise, the world has a simple choice: do we build nuclear power everywhere now, or in 30 years once we've destroyed the environment completely?
The solution to our problems has been here all along, we just need to grow a pair and get it done. Putt-putt-ing around building windmills and dams to generate our power is not only an exercise in futility but one rooted in the fact that there's no urgency. If we really needed to end fossil fuel consumption now for some reason, you can be damn sure you'd see cooling towers being built outside your window right now.
