Answer 3

It depends on your perspective and the people developing the tech.  Nuclear powr has benefited limitless people but at the same time the plutonium ore used in the rods won't degrade for tens of thousands of years and is highly radioactive.  Gasoline has been used for ever and we know how bad it is for the environment.  The problem is developing technology cheaply that uses renewable resources (wind, geo-thermal, water, etc.).  Because if you do that, the major companies (big oil) will see a profit decrease and that in turn will hurt the economy.  Until our survival is in danger or we run out of resources we probably won't see the tech we so badly need.developments we want.
