Nuclear energy is needed to offset the environmental consequences of fossil power, such as greenhouse gases, smog, carbon footprint, etc. We also need to reduce and/or eliminate our dependence on the volatile foreign oil market.
The alternative sources, such as geothermal, solar, and wind are just not ready for mainstream operation. At this point, and for the near to mid future, the only viable source of energy that makes sense, and that is safe (when you properly consider the big picture) is nuclear.
Of course, when you look at the big picture, you also have to look at automobiles. Combining nuclear power to generate electricity with automobiles that run on electricity makes the most sense of all. We need to put our collective feet down and force the issue. These big gas guzzlers have to go. Sorry, but that's the way it is. If that means changing our way of life, then so be it, if we don't, the planet will change it for us - for the worse.
