Nuclear future?

After seeing the damage Ike did cause to the Gulf, we might wish we had more nuclear power plants. The US has plenty of uranium and fission create radiation, but no greenhouse gas.

Still, I do not see a nuclear future for the world. This is because there are many problems with atomic energy. Although the promise is great, the performance is poor. Nuclear accidents like Chernobyl remind us of the danger, in some ways nukes are like jetpacks in that they seem very scifi, but not practical.
