Can't let this pass w/o at least a comment, but I'm not going to get
into a protracted argument.

Well, given that I'm assuming you're not going to quit using the hand
dryer or the lights in your house, what do you propose for large-scale
generation?

Overall, considering the entire fuel cycle, there have been studies that
indicate that nuclear is the least of any of the alternatives you
listed. A prime advantage over any of the fossil fuels is CO2
mitigation/reduction.

If we were recycling (as we should be), the waste issue would be
significantly less of a problem (and it's not a technical problem, it's
a political one, anyway) than the present on-site storage of spent fuel.
