US civilian reactors have consistently proven to be safe.

If “consistently” does not include three mile island or many low level incidents that are reported on regular basis by regulators!
Maybe you mean, there hasn’t been an incident where many people have died. Maybe so. But is it because of sheer luck or by design?

Sure, call it whatever you want but the bottom line is that it has not been solved!
How come people are called NIMBYs when they oppose Yucca Mountain or CA high speed train but they are visionaries if they oppose fracking or Keystone pipeline? I smell certain double standard.
For some people the risk of something unanticipated happening 100s or 1000s of years after you made a certain decision is a non-issue or trivial. But for many people, it is the other way. Who is right?
At least fracking/Nat-gas does not cause problems that will only be found out 1000 years from now!
