The fact that renewable energy is cheaper and well renewable there is less profit in it, that's the bottom line.

Great post. I thought I was the greenest person on GFY - nice to see I'm not alone.
That said though, Nuclear can be safe. There are modern technologies for nuclear available now. Fukushima and others are 30 years old... some are close to 50 years old.
When it comes to electricity: We should all get our energy from Solar, wind, or hydro first. Then Nuclear. Coal and natural gas should be way down on the list.
