Nuclear fission creates thermal energy (which is translated into electricity) without emitting carbon AND without dependence on sunlight or wind, something the carbon-free movement should embrace. Yet the same people who are so concerned about the environment are opposed to recycling partially used (incorrectly called "spent") nuclear fuel and then complain about needing to store such an untapped source of energy for hundreds of years. Through recycling, chemical decomposition of truly spent fuel stock, and other technologies the byproducts of nuclear fuel can be rendered fully safe and radiation-free for long-term disposal. I would think anyone truly interested in a carbon-reduced future would embrace the full possibilities of what the latest nuclear fission technology offers (especially since fusion for making electricity will probably remain ten years away for the next several decades).
