They were never pushed until a few years ago, because oil and coal were the fuel of the day. No more, as people are starting to see that maybe it's not a good idea to pollute the entire earth so we can leave our TV's on 24/7. Nuclear is bad for humans, animals, and the entire earth. You cannot get rid of the toxic waste it generates, and to use it even more than it already is used it not being forward-thinking at all; it's the status quo and showing the lack of concern for future generations on earth.

And yes, there is. What is the result of using nuclear? Waste. Toxic waste. Where do we put it? In the ground. How does that make any sense to anyone at all? The key is reduction and clean renewables; not "keep things as they are" and toxic waste. Sorry to disagree. Yes, I did. And yes, there is. What is the result of using nuclear? Waste. Toxic waste.

The key is reduction and clean renewables; not “keep things as they are” and toxic waste. Sorry to disagree.

What you want simply doesn't exist. Nuclear power is the next best thing. There is nothing cleaner that is practical: solar and wind power alone doesn't even come close to meeting the worlds energy needs. And I am not a shill. I'm just an engineer who works for a university and I know a bit about these things. @david: Did you read anything I said? What you want simply doesn’t exist. Nuclear power is the next best thing.
