On the other hand, your nuclear power plant us
generating polution that will last thousands of years and we have yet
to come up with an effective means of dealing with it.

I'm sorry, but that is just wrong. The "waste problem" is the mantra the
anti-nukes fall back on when they run out of logical arguments. From a science
and engineering standpoint, the "problem" of nuclear storage has been solved for
decades, the remaining problems are 99% political. Not the least of political
problems is the crazy policy that we should not recycle our nuclear fuel
modules. Recycling would greatly reduce the volume of the radioactive waste and
recover an amazing amount of fuel for reuse.

Also, remember that fossil power plants have their own waste storage problem;
they are spewing megatons of gasses and chemicals into our atmosphere that will
last for thousands of years, and we have yet to come up with an effective means
of dealing with it...
