But it depends on humans to maintain the safe operation of the reactor. I'll support nuclear power when they bother to develop the technology to the point where it is intrinsically safe - ie. the workers down tools at any time and the plant is not capable of having a meltdown.
That solar power will provide the bulk of our enegy needs at some point in the future seems obvious to me - the energy is already delivered to us, we just need to collect it.
