I as some sort physicist will totally and utterly agree with you. At best Nuclear energy will only contribute at best about 6% of our energy needs.
A nuclear reactor only returns about twenty times the amount of fossil fuel energy needed to build it. Let alone the cost of the fuel! They have a life of twenty years maybe.

Then you and all your decendants have the problem of the waste for at least one or two hundred thousand years!
