In less than 50 years, this debate will be pointless, as fusion power enters center stage. The first step in development is the creation of a tokomak, which is the magnetic field that is able to hold the hydrogen. We are almost there on that.
Until fusion becomes a reality, we can live with controlled fission power. Sure, there will be dangerous byproducts, but that is just temporary. Today's nuclear power will blend perfectly with solar and wind power.
