My friends and I have been debating this since the Fukushima accident in Japan a few months back and most of us agree that nuclear energy needs to happen. But will it given the knee jerk reactions of the Japanese and the Germans? Also curious to see whether people would support/oppose a plant in Alberta and why?
I also see a future of abundant and cheap electrical energy from nuclear, but not from what most people would call traditional nuclear power.

Thorium fuelled breeder type reactors are certainly the next step.
