People that point toward nuclear do not ignore potential pitfall and dangers - but rather weigh them up against the very proven and ALREADY DEMONSTRATED dangers of fossil fuel generation (and extraction) Every ongoing day. And the balance there between the proven cost and devastation of the one - against the potential challenges represented in the other ... Leaves really no conundrum nor tenuous balance at all. It's pretty much a no brainer.
And with statements like, "better off burning coal for all eternity" you amply demonstrate a variety of trenchant mindset that I will happily continue to call grossly misinformed - today, tomorrow and the next day - even if you lived on TOP of a nuclear reactor.
