Hi Lost1. No offence taken. The fact is that nuclear power has the least negative impact on the environment of all the major fuel sources. However, it does not matter because the perception that all those little mushrooms could become one big mushroom has always been out there!
Hydrocarbons are the past, present and future. Wood was this country's first fuel. Lots of carbon, not much hydrogen, very dirty. Next came coal. Less carbon, more hydrogen, cleaner than wood.
Oil is cleaner than coal and natural gas is cleaner than oil.
The next step is fuel cells - all hydrogen, no carbon. Wind, solar, nuclear, tidal etc are all nice tries but hydrocarbons are the only realistic option out there.
To be on-topic, I'll do some research on companies that are becoming fuel cell plays!
