My 2 cents is this. Nobody else in the world needs to go nuclear. Now the reason being for that is that some countries (i.e. Iraq, Iran, North Korea) will more than likely abuse the power of nuclear power and use it to develop nuclear weapons if they haven't already. It's like giving a hand grenade to a toddler, someone is gonna die or be seriously hurt.

There's a certain amount of political and social responsibility that comes with nuclear power. Even here in the US, where the first operating reactor was built in the world, Americans are very much against the idea of nuclear power. To some of my countrymen the risks of going nuclear outweigh the rewards, even if it meant a clearer atmosphere.
