Interesting twists and turns in this thread. As a retiree from the nuclear industry I definitely favour nuclear. When all things are considered it's the cheapest and safest way of large scale electricity generation. Solar and wind have their place, especially in small remote installations. For example I have a 50 Watt solar panel on a houseboat. Keeps the batteries charged up so I can listen to music, watch DVD's (life's tough ain't it?), charge up cell phones, laptops, etc., and not have to run the engine.
