Theres nothing wrong with nuclear. By the time we start considering
space habitats this far out, nuclear fusion might even be viable, but
we can build molten salt fission plants now for fueling a huge colony
for at least a couple of centuries.

You might even be right, here. But the memory of Chernobyl will live for a
long time...

We should ask, critically and with appeal to the numbers, whether the
best site for a growing advancing industrial society is Earth, the
Moon, Mars, some other planet, or somewhere else entirely.
Surprisingly, the answer will be inescapable - the best site is
"somewhere else entirely."
