Nuclear Fuels Dominant over Fossil Fuels?

With decreases in fossil fuel reserves and the resulting increases in price (especially with the war in Iraq), converting to nuclear power just may be the proper solution to this political, economical and social conundrum. Nuclear energy and fossil fuels work similarly in that they are used to heat up water into steam, which in turn pumps turbines to create electricity. However, they differ in the fuel they use to heat the water, which brings forth various disadvantages as well as advantages. Could it be possible that nuclear energy, even with its higher costs and higher risks of releasing radioactive materials will triumph the nonrenewable, global warming contributing fossil fuels? What began as a simple project has become the justification for an energy source that will power humanity into the future.
