Um, actually I live only a couple hours away from a nuclear plant. My brother goes to Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo ), which is right next to it (they have emergency plans incase of problems at the plant). This is in California, of course, so I dunno why you were under the impression that there isn't a nuclear plant here ?
Next issue: Wind Power. Window power doesn't go without its environment impacts either. I can't find the story right now, but I read about a case in Germany (along a coast) where upon the completion of a wind power system, the climate changed durastically. I think wind power is great and all, I've seen it widley used in Europe, but I don't think it's the answer.
Another alternative that no one has brought up yet is fusion. I know that it's not possible as of yet (as a controlled source, ie, not an explosive), but if you check news relating it, you'll find that a lot of progress is being made. I'm not saying that we should just sit around until the day where fusion as a power source is available, but it's in important development to keep in mind.
Ok, so now that I've edited this for acceptable "troll" levels, let me just say that a lot of people simply don't use their common sense, if everbody would just think, then life would be a lot easier. But then, you already knew that
