the world is moving toward having thousands of nuclear energy plants-how comforting

why is "nuclear energy" a dirty word? (like "landfill", or "shark"?) ah, now i remember... nuclear waste. whay isn't that recyclable?
and as for hydroelectrics, there's a huge price to pay: people being displaced, riverbeds rendered unproductive. are we screwed?

Is solar energy just too easy? I don't get why solar isn't getting more traction. hmmm, maybe it's because it doesn't use the earth's depleting mineral resources, which are owned by governments and big business. I guess uranium will be the next stock market mania.
