If we could find a safe way to dispose of the nuclear waste or make it's decay quicker then nuclear wouldn't be bad. Problem is you have meltdowns...Japan's F....(I can't spell it!), Chernobyl, 3 mile island...even when not deadly, the clean up costs are massive. Then you have waste that you have to store securely and safely for thousands (not an exaggeration) of years. It's already dangerous but we also have the added scare of terrorists getting ahold of this material and making weapons. How can we possibly get it safely secured and accounted for, for thousands of years...the government? When's the last time they were efficient and trusted?

Very good point. A very fixed target for terrorists.
