What's my temper got to do with anything? Please do not confuse my making a point with a bad temper. I'm not angry, I'm arguing my case!

Right back at you: How do you know? We
think we can put it away in places where it will not cause much harm, but we can only positively conclude that it didn't do any harm
after the fact.
Maybe putting out concentrated solar power plants will cause the sun to die sooner. Maybe building a tower that traps air rising from the surface and sends it through a turbine before releasing it in the upper atmosphere (where it was going in the first place) will have side effects that we can't predict. Humanity has side effects that we can't predict.
But, all things considered, I still think we are better off with "truly" clean sources of energy, over nuclear power (or fossil fuels), which has downsides that we
can predict.

I guess nuclear is a step up from fossil fuels. I just think we, humanity, can do even better.
