> If we want 8 billion people living in comfort, we need more energy
This is not true. It is possible for 8 Billion people to live in comfort (of course, for a reasonable definition of comfort, which isn't typical US lifestyle at the moment), with the amount of Energy produced right now. _If_ production and distribution, political and economic structures, transportation and habitation systems etc. were to change significantly.
(This is regardless of the Nuclear yes/no discussion.)
