^ This. There might be a very harsh wake-up to energy realities for the ignorant subset of the treehuggers, but nuclear can and hopefully will keep us going energy-wise.

I am MUCH more scared of a nuclear war breaking out over diminishing oil resources than I am about peaceful nuclear energy. That would be mankind's biggest and worst irony.

IMHO, it is bordering on insane to not consider peaceful nuclear energy as someone who is keen on saving the planet.

Sure, conserving, saving, making everything more efficient is fine and laudable. But one still has to support the energy needs of some 7e9 people.
