So you think it is silly that people are worried about the impact of something because you are sure that technology will advance so fast that it will be able to take care of this. Your assumption is wrong, though. Technology has not always advanced in the history of mankind. And it also hasn't advanced faster and faster.

No I think that if the problem reaches a certain scale, more incentives will be there to solve it and on a long enough time scale it will get solved one way or another. I'm not saying nuclear doesn't have problems, I'm just saying 50-100 year long impact is impossible to asses realistically and should not really be the deciding factor.
