Man, you guys need to understand that nuclear energy is not the ultimate clean energy source. Ever heard of nuclear waste?
"The atomic industry would have us believe that nuclear energy is the only renewable solution to the climate problem. However, after close consideration this claim has been shown to be hollow. The objective of the Clean Development Mechanism is to get wealthy countries to invest in clean energy sources in developing countries, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Nuclear energy has no business there.
Nuclear energy is not renewable
Uranium ore is needed to feed nuclear power stations, and one day uranium, like fossil fuels, will have been used up. And when they're gone, they will be gone for ever.
Nuclear energy produces radioactivity
Although nuclear energy emits less carbon dioxide, it releases life-threatening radioactive substances into the environment.
Nuclear energy is not CO2-free
Although nuclear power stations emit little CO2, the entire nuclear energy chain produces at least a third as much carbon dioxide as a modern gas-fired power station does.
Nuclear energy is expensive
Nuclear energy costs more per KW/hour than the alternatives. Added to this, the energy recovery time is very long compared to other energy sources. It takes a great deal of energy to produce nuclear energy."
