Thanks for the link. I guess I hadn't read enough about this. I still am uneasy about using nuclear power for everything because of the risks and waste. I'm aware that alternate, safer designs exist though they are not commercially proven and often have unsolved problems with either logistics, scaling, or non-proliferation.

I feel that changes to lifestyle and solar power sharing across large geographic areas might be a better and more ecological approach, though I can't quantify how everything would work yet.

The other aspect to discovery though is that mining ever more hard to recover fuels results in escalating ecological damage. Fracking isn't something we needed to do but is possibly responsible for small earth quakes and various kinds of local destruction and pollution for example. I don't know much about uranium mining, but I suspect that it is a very toxic enterprise filled with radioactive acids and tailings.
