Nuclear Power - Sustainable Enough

According to Nat Tuck, Dec 2006

Summary

If done correctly with modern nuclear technology, Nuclear Power is a safe and clean energy source that can provide our electricity needs for thousands of years. It's our only real option to replace fossil fuels.

Thousands of years isn't forever - so it's not strictly "sustainable" - but given the potential of future research over that time, it's Sustainable Enough.
