I agree with your partly -- the problem with nuclear power is only partly the 
crappy technology but mainly because it's run commerically at lowest possible 
cost, and they always fine tune short-term costs downward, puttin of future 
problems for... the future. It's not as simple as pandering to a special 
interests, that's an over simplification. The commercial energy people have 
long demonstrated an inability to do things right -- which requires thinking 
of the future in a way that needs to disregard their own trival profit 
concerns.

Clean up the crappy technology (of which I know a fair amount) and I'd be good 
to go. But I agree we may end up with those bozos running the ship if we 
really get backed into a corner.

Fusion is the same -- that it's cleaner is a total 100% lie. Neutron 
bombardment does the embrittlement and causes secondary fission-like products 
in all of the surrounding materials. It's alie and a crock. Neutrons can't be 
contained, they simply eventually impact nuclei and break them up or make 
unstable isotopes. Physics doesn't lie.
