Allow me to paraphrase your points:
1. My perceptive skills have allowed me to veer into the future and determine there are no unknown flaws in our current nuclear power plants that could lead to a major catastrophe on the order of Chernobyl.
2. I also have intimate knowledge of the motives and capabilities of international terrorists and have decided they have neither in regard to sabotaging a nuclear plant.
3. I was going to say something snarky, but I pretty much agree with this one.
IMHO, nuclear is better than fossil fuels, but really both of them should be seen as abbreviated stepping stones to hydrogen and other renewable fuels, and not cash cows to be stretched out as long as possible. Because from where I'm sitting there isn't a fire burning under anyone's ass to develop the technology or invest in the infrastructure that is eventually going to make hydrogen or another renewable fuel as cheap and available as petroleum. That one Honda Prius you see a month is a nice start but a clear sign of just how long we have to go.
