To not build more nuclear power-plants is simply irresponsible. Why? The price of oil has an impact on the economy. (Transportation, heating, oil based products and so on.) It also has an impact on our freedom of movement. (The price of gasoline.) The more independent of oil we can make ourselves, the less impact it will have on us. This is why it is the duty of the western civilization to expand the use of nuclear power while at the same time increase research into solar- and fusion-power. This way we not only stand clear of being dependent on crazy dictatorships in the middle-east but can also increase our standard of living.
Ideally a hydrogen based economy like that planned in Iceland would be the preferred choice, but remember that the hydrogen has to come from somewhere.
