Nano-deconstruction is one answer to nuclear waste. Focussed light is one answer, probably the best, to high-risk energy methods. If one tenth of the money spent on killing people of all sizes in Iraq were spent on researching the maximization of light-energy transport and use, we'd be able to roof our own homes with enough scavenging devices to power them with a surplus in most of the regions of the country. In addition the utilization of our hormongous gravity pump is almost completely ignored (read: Moon), yet it shifts millions of tons of mass up and down as much as 12 feet every day. Scavenging just dispersed energy is a problem to be solved because low-density energy is costlier to accumulate, but it is distinctly possible IMHO that micro rengineering could hold the key to it.

With all this, pursuing non-renewable resources, or highly toxic designs like nuclear fuel rods strikes me as a bit mad, a condition I have always attributed to Bush's dyslexic, power-hungry, egotistical style of thought.
