  Not quite...

  >>>"Who amongst us is honestly willing to give up their car, that comfortable 72 degree temp, their lights, TV's, movie theatres, trinkets and basically all the modern conviences that come from being the smartest animal on the planet."

  Nobody's asking you to give that up. We're asking that next time you buy a car you think about the milage it gets and that you switch the TV off at the wall instead of putting it into "standby" with the remote when you're not using it.

  Small changes that won't affect your lifestyle in the slightest.

  >>>"So the only viable option is nuclear energy.
  Is it dangerous? Yes
  What can be done with the waste?"

  You need to brush up on reactor designs. You're still thinking of the reactors which were built in the '50s which were basically nuclear bombs which we were trying to explode in a controlled manner. They also had a design requirement of producing enriched plutonium for nuclear weapons, though that side of the "big rush to nuclear power" isn't discussed very often.

  Modern reactors aren't dangerous and don't produce hard to deal with waste.
