I have no confidence in nuclear fission.  Think about it in the
background of this list.  We are most likely only a few years from the
singularity.  Do you really think "the powers that be" would bother
with fission in a world where they can grow PV like Kudzu?

PS.  If they did, most of the objections such as cancer would be gone
in a world of nanotech medicine.  But why would they bother?
