Many years ago on the mailing list for the Traveller SF RPG there was a discussion on what people on a frontier world might use for power, especially in the early days.

There were many suggestions and one RTGs (Radioisotope Thermal Generators) resulted in a *lot* of back and forth with one camp basically going "nuclear! Aggh! Scary! Dangerous"

Things were at a bit of an impasse when it occurred to me to check some references. This resulted in a post along the lines of "Guys? They've had nuclear power long than we've had *writing*..."

That pretty much put things in perspective.
