Personally I find all of the money we have put into Uranium fission and Fusion as a tremendous waste of money. It appears we have no way of decommissioning the plants, or disposing of the waste, of course there is the risk of further accidents. If we have to use nuclear decay, at least go with Thorium.

Solar panels, solar towers, wind, and tidal have a much lower cost and lower environmental impact. But they do lack the "cool" factor, and the military applications.

Fusion has been 20-30 years out for the last 50 years.
