Wind is ready to take its place in the sun. But with old nuclear stations closing, nuclear won't be able to fulfil its third of the deal unless new nuclear plants are built. The issue has caused a bitter divide between environmentalists, with some arguing that the risk from climate change is so severe that it's worth supping nuclear fuel, albeit with a long spoon.

consumir/utilizar
'Supping' é uma maneira bastante informal de dizer 'eating/drinking'. O artigo faz uma metáfora para a aceitação da energia nuclear.
Seria algo do tipo ' Vale a pena utilizar/consumir o combustível nuclear, embora com cautela'.

A expressão é "to sup with a long spoon".
Eu traduziria "it's worth supping nuclear fuel, albeit with a long spoon"como:
"vale a pena entrar em atrito com a indústria de energia nuclear, porém com toda a cautela".
Espero que ajude!

"If you eat with the devil, you need a (very) long spoon so that you can keep your distance. If you mix with bad people, you should be careful not to be influenced by them. A warning not to get too close when dealing with evil people."
