Probably the most ideal forum of Nuclear Energy, would instead of smashing the atoms, bonding them (the same sort of Fusion the sun uses).* Unfortunately, we do not have the capabilities to do so, and we do it very poorly, as you need mass amounts of heat we end up spending more energy on it than we get out of it.* Fusion is out.

well fusion will not be a myth in a few years....
ITER is going to be the first fusion reactor in the world to produce 500 MW of power from plasma operation. it is expected to be builted and operating in 2016 ( about 10 years from now).
i voted for "Yes, but with the power bit only", meaning only that if a nuclear power plant exists, then why not use it? besides, with the price of oil getting to where they are now - and i susppect it will never go back, only up - it is a good alternative.
of course if the question was "do you agree with the construction of a new nuclear power plant?" i would say NO :Titan:
