Pretty much it's the same reason I'm a major proponent of Nuclear Fusion research.
We can easily get by on the non renewable sources we have now for centuries to come but the advantages and resources available by utilising hydrogen and nuclear fusion eclipses all the issues the left are 'worried about' with none of their costs.
That and if we are able to fully utilise nuclear fusion, we are getting railguns and militarised lasers very quickly after since one of the biggest issues is powering them and that solves it almost overnight.
The most interesting thing I've ever seen posted about is the idea of using spent fuel rods etc. and nuclear waste in general as an electricity source which would be remarkable. This would deal with one of my fears around nuclear which is how you deal with that scary left over from the process.
