Nuclear energy is probably one of the best invention ever: effective and clean, and these ignorant ecologists who knows nothing about science fight against it.
Several problems with nuclear energy as well...
Nuclear Energy is not renewable. It is a finite resource that can and will be exhausted.
Much of the commercial grade uranium comes from foreign sources outside of the United States.
Mining uranium involves conventional diesel-burning mining equipment.
Refining uranium involves energy intensive processing plants.
Building nuclear power plants is resource intensive.
Decommissioning and burying nuclear facilities (processing plants, power plants, etc.) is energy intensive.
Shipping uranium from source to processor to generator to permanent storage is done by conventional diesel burning equipment powering ships and trucks.
Nuclear power plants require enormous amounts of fresh water to function properly, far more than most other forms of power generation.
Nuclear power plants are susceptible to heat waves and can be forced to shut down when the weather gets too hot.
The full cost of designing, building, running, decommissioning, shipping, and storing a nuclear power plants costs more than any other form of commercial scale power generation.
Only a series of lopsided risk-reward contracts written in the 1940's and 1950's on the backs of the American taxpayer allow nuclear power operators to claim a net positive balance sheet.
In many cases today's nuclear power operators did not actually fund or build the plants. They merely purchased what was left after the original owner was unable to fully recover from the enormous cost of the original build.
And then there's always this...
The most persistent forms of nuclear waste will outlive global warming by about a million years.
