For good or for bad, nuclear energy is the future

Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made it clear that the number of nuclear reactors in the World is likely to increase in the nearest future.

This statement is valuable for two reasons:
1. IAEA's head is probably the most informed person in the World in regard to the developments involving the nuclear energy.

2. He is neither a political leader, nor representative of the nuclear industry, nor environmentalist, and as such can afford to be more objective than anyone else. This is even more underscored by the fact that Mr. Amano is Japanese, who probably finds it hard to be dispassionate about teh recent Fukushima accident.
