Sometimes it is good to tradeoff solving a known short term problem, by taking on a solution with a uncertain long term issue.

If the world had continued to adopt nuclear power unabated, it is likely that climate change would not be a problem, and millions of cases of cancer not occurred.

This is not to say it is now time to adopt nuclear carte blanche, but to demonstrate that your way of thinking is not without issue either.
