Still think that renewable energy should be given more research instead of nuclear, especially since dealing with nuclear waste is kind of a serious problem
The risk of meltdown, especially since Chernobyl has been massively reduced with automated shutdown systems in place and proper training and fallback plans should a reactor uncontrollably reach critical mass. The Fukuishima plant is the only recent major incident, and that was down to poor handling of other hazards (which, for Japan I thought would be ready for the occasional tsunami...), rather than a fault with the operation of the reactor itself.

That seems pretty goddamn safe to me. Shame we don't have any modern plants... Thanks Clinton.

The best energy alternative would involve anti-matter reactors. But since they exist only in theory;- there is no best energy alternative. Nuclear power is LITERALLY the best power we can have at the moment (fusion not fission).
