Atomic energy
Atomic energy seems to have got a new lease of life in the last few years after lots of protests by environmentalists. There now seems to be an increasing number in support of atomic energy as a solution to the problems with carbon dioxide.
What do you think? Do you think we should wait until we have sorted out implementing renewable energy in homes and businesses, or should we just get on with using the technology that we are ready now exists, and can be used supply power to millions of users?

I've no intrinsic objection to nuclear power but there are difficulties of disposal of waste and there is the cost (for some reason the power companies never seem to be abl to make an estimate which is anything like the eventual price). However, it seems to be doing fairly well in France.
Hopefully the French engineers are more competent than those in the Ukraine:

What most worries me is the mixing of humans and dangerous engineering ....
