The waste problem is a bit of an issue, but the spent fuel rods are actually less radioactive than they were when they went into the reactor after 500 years.In order to enjoy long-term economic growth, we need lots of energy- not just efficiency. Nuclear is an inexpensive way to provide that energy.Finally, most people who live near existing nuclear reactors favor the construction of new plants in their neighborhood by a 3:1 margin; we can increase nuclear generating capacity without putting reactors where they're not wanted.

The benefits are that in addition to being safe, it’s also a relatively cheap power source, says Sarah Harper for Triple Pundit.

One of the other things Lovins says is that we could recapture 70-80 percent of the energy we now use, by designing for efficiency (see my article about him at http://www.frugalmarketing.com/dtb/amorylovins.shtml ) -- and this is a far better strategy than dealing with the waste, safety, terrorism vulnerability, transmission loss, and various other problems that nuclear brings.

We have to become less dependent on the middle east for energy, specifically oil. I think off-shore drilling and building new nuclear plants are absolutely necessary.
