Pat, I think the idea is that nuclear fission will be a transitional technology until something better comes along, i.e. fusion. We won’t run out of fission fuel, we’ll just move on to something better.
In general, I think the 21st century will see the rise and fall of a number of transitional technologies. Everyone who thinks that there’s a panacea that will satisfy everyone (except the greedy executives) now has been reading too much internet junk. We’ll get off of oil, but it will be a slow gradual process that will move us through several transitional paradigms.
