Nuclear is cleaner and cheaper.
Exactamundo.And yeah, we don't know what to do with the waste, but you can run ALL of the country's energy needs with them and store the resultant waste in 10 acres...we can figure out what to do with it later. You don't have to mine for more stuff if you use breeder reactors .
Instead we strip mine, we build dams and screw up rivers, and we put those damn not-cost-effective turbines as eyesores on the land.
A lot of this country was built on cheap energy, and in nuclear power we have it handed to us on a silver platter...and refuse to take it...
