Just because we (and I include myself) scientists discover something- does not mean we should implement it on a mass scale.
Let's see.. "Let's take a nuclear bomb and start to explode it, but contain it in a cement and metal container. That should be safe".
We've been doing nuclear energy for 40 years and already have had horrible repercussions from using it. One of the most disciplined and technologically advanced societies on earth (Japan) couldn't handle it safely. Then there is the arrogance of trying to contain thousands of tons of radioactive waste for thousands of years. Our civilization may die off in a non-nuclear way, but some other fledgling society may evolve - and accidentally dig up a radioactive waste site- and all perish. That is unconscionable disregard for life. Solar is efficient, safe and a proven technology. It is a simple and elegant answer to a huge problem. The lack of political will avail ourselves of it- is simply because it does away with your monthly bill. There is much more money to be made in poisoning people and creating wars over energy. The 99% of us suffer from this.
