We Have certainly screwed up the use of nuclear energy. And coal strip mines have made a mess. Oil and gas field messes. Hydro dams that don't let fish spawn and break. And lots of things we have screwed up for the sake of energy.

All of the above have improved over time in their efficiency and the footprint gets smaller. I think nuclear can and will and should be the fuel of the future. Imperfect as it is, well managed and planned, it has the potential to be our cleanest and readily abundant energy source with the smallest impact on the whole.

Just my opinion, and open to slagging. Oh, and I forgot burning wood and deforestation in all of the above.

The future of nuclear is thorium fuel - stable, no possibility of an explosion, abundant fuel, no waste (or rather the waste is minor) and it can consume waste nuclear fuel and reduce its radioactivity.
