It can be if plants are designed inherently safe and operated responsibly.
Yes, if there is a crisis.
Because:Nuclear energy based on nuclear fusion relies on almost unlimited energy primary sources (mainly tritium and deuterium in water).Nuclear energy based on nuclear fission relies on almost unlimited energy primary sources of uranium and thorium; especially when breeders are used.
He threatened to use Nuclear force.
Most certainly, nuclear energy can be part of the solution to our energy needs. What the world wants to get away from is nuclear power that relies on fission, or breaking apart the atoms, of radioactive/unstable elements such as uranium. Helium-3 is an isotope of helium that is not radioactive/unstable. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Fusion Technology institute have succeeded in fusing helium-3 atoms, demonstrating that nuclear power, with no radiation whatsoever is not only possible, but it is ready to be fully developed and used.
Go nuclear or go home.
It is an alternative, but nuclear power plants are not 100% safe and are prone to radiation leaks (especially during man made or natural calamities). It is a solution as long as it works, but can be a problem of immeasurable proportions if a disaster happens. Radioactivity from malfunctioning and damaged plants can stay around for years and years. And there is the question of disposing spent fuel. Until we know to harness nuclear energy safely, it should be one of the last choices.
Mainly that no good solution has been found to dispose of the nuclear wastes.

good governance is the solution of all crisis
Nuclear fusion has not yet been achieved on Earth but it is the process by which the un and stars are believed to gain their energy. At the moment nuclear reactors use nuclear fission, which is the splitting of radioactive nucleii. Nuclear fussion is the combining, or the fusion, of atoms which would release much much more energy. Many scientists believe that this is the way we need to go to solve the energy crisis.
