Amen, (almost)!  I don't think that even Amory Lovins thinks that
we will NEVER have to build another electric power plant.  If so,
the debate of which is the lesser evil, nuclear or fossil fuel,
must unfortunately continue for the forseeable future.  (MY vote
is that fossil fuel is the greater evil.)
