I do agree that implementation needs to be extremely careful, but whether it's nuclear waste that has to be contained or carbon dioxide that's causing the green house effect, every power source has its pros and cons. But research has to go forth in all areas including nuclear and where the right nuclear technology makes sense it should be used. Compared to everything but solar and hydro (which have their own severely limiting considerations and are almost too different to effectively compare) nuclear's per pound efficiency is too high to ignore. And if this use of depleted uranium does pan out, it becomes even more efficient than before. I’ve always thought that the way many “green” leaning people rejected nuclear power outright was wrong.
