It is very much regretful that a senior scientist from ICTP is saying like this. Infact it is the nuclear energy which must be utilized for energy as it has least environmental pollution and helps in preventing global warming. All other sources of energy are either pollutogenic or are impractical. The best among these would be water dam energy but it has to rain effectively to get this energy. Nuclear energy on the other hand has no pollution and is plentiful. The only trouble with this is that it needs total control. When all the European countries and USA can have it why not us? When we burn fire in our kitchen aren't we careful not to burn ourselves. Similarly Nuclear energy demands some precautions and we are fully equipped to meet this demand. Moreover it also generates other byproducts or isotopes which are useful for medical and industrial requirements. The debate whether we need help from USA or not may be questioned instead of rejecting Nuclear energy.
