Hmmm... That's actually really interesting to think about from the anthropic principle perspective.

Very interesting that the only intelligent species we are aware of is on a planet that we can leave.

I wonder to what extent higher gravitational planets could sustain love that couldn't leave it. An interesting answer to Fermi's paradox.

Nah, again - nuclear. I doubt the safety profile would factor much once it's the only available option.
