Sure, it's a risk vs reward thing and my comment was just focusing on the risk - a risk that I think is continually downplayed because we are bad at appreciating the costs of extremely unlikely but extremely bad events that have never occurred before.

If the reward is high enough the risk might be justified. Personally I doubt it (mostly because economically solar + wind + power storage seems like a better bet), but that's a whole other discussion.
