I feel that, even if nuclear reactors are built to be much safer, the risk of nuclear never justifies its convenience (think Fukushima & Chernobil). Radioactive pollution is just too destructive.

I don't see why we cannot have a decentralized grid of renewables. Something along these lines would not only be pollution free, it would also make people more energy independent and the grid more resilient. A win win situation without the risk of nuclear disaster forever hanging above our heads.
