I think the world shoud learn that nuclear power can be safe if its used correctly, even countrys like britain and america are not immune from the dangers 3 mile island and sellafied good examples.

I live not far from a decommissioned nuclear plant in bradwell, and i do think that we in the future may have to turn and rely fully on nuclear power because the fossil fuels are deminishing fast.

I hate to break it to you, but we running on about 50 years of uranium...that's it. This can be extended to about 400 years IF we use breeder reactors.

I've seen 1000 years for breeders, but that's assuming energy consumption levels remain equal. There are some other options (uranium from seawater, using thorium, getting the uranium and thorium from coal), but yes, with currect practices, the easily accessible nuclear fuel will not last long.
