Hum - well, nuclear hasn't quite solved the problems dating back to the 1950s yet - waste disposal, vulnerability to accidents/terrorism/natural disasters. Rather than turning back to yesterday's ideas why not cut out the middle man - we live on a huge nuclear reactor, after all (most of the Earth's internal heat comes from radioactive decay). If we can use this directly rather than digging it up, compressing it, transporting it, locking it in expensive containers and then using it to heat water, this would seem to be a good solution - it's not going to run out any time soon.

dellwear - thanks for the kind wishes, but really a night of disturbed sleep and being sat on at 5am by an annoyed baby isn't quite in the same league as what's happening in Carlisle right now. Good luck to them.
