Pro. The waste storage required per kilowatt is tiny compared to the waste storage of coal. The all-told, long-term investment to power ratio is far better than fossil fuels in general. The death-print is safer than even solar.

Our primary focus should be renewable sources of power and improved batteries to make them more reliable.
