Jean Marc Jancovici is one of the most vocal of we can call "Nuclear ecologist" around in France, the content is amazing and he definitely have a point if you want to follow [0].

He is a realist, but in this field we need to go beyond and to open big money for the research into small and decentralized nuclear power.

Every citizen have to know the pros and the cons, and be educated to the risks. Energy provide good living standards, but we have to know the drawbacks and we have to account for externalities in every business model.

This will be the only way to keep our standards of living and keep an habitable home.

Jancovici uses physics and maths to prove we definitely won't have western standard of living for 8B people. Even for 2, not for long.
