People are going to have to start to do some sensible and unemotional re-evaluation of nuclear power generation pretty damn soon.

Yep, some people will die from an increased incidence of cancer and yes, some people will die from nuclear mishaps and/or terrorism.

However, global climate change will kill billions of people unless fossil fuel utilisation is vastly reduced over the next century.

Renewable energy supplies may solve some of the problem. USAians forgoing their gas guzzling trucks and starting to think some about energy efficiency willl solve some more. However, the only current economically viable non CO2-producing technology is nuclear fission and adopting it on a wider scale will save lives and help to protect the environment.

You'll never convince the lumpenproletariat of the fact, though.
