The more nuclear is examined in detail, the less of a 'clean' option it actually becomes. If the information in the following article is correct, the nuclear industry will use a significant portion of the energy they generate just in dealing with waste (or they may do it on the cheap, and not deal with it properly at all...): http://www.celsias.com/2008/01/06/nuclear-reactors-for-the-uk-is-this-a-good-idea/ This also commits the human race to using energy to store nuclear waste for hundreds of years -- energy people may not have in the future....
