The nuclear plants' cooling systems malfunctioning in Japan is a unfortunate tragedy and it reiterate the dangers of nuclear power.
I believe nuclear power is under the category of "clean power" because it does not emit much pollutions (green house gas, etc.). To me, the clean power status is a gray area because after the nuclear materials are used up, they need to be stored in remote location for hundreds of years due to their radiation affect.
IMO, the U.S. should concentrate our resources on energy sources that are both clean and renewable. If we keep improving these technologies, they will get more and more efficient and cheaper.
These are my opinions.. Please do your DD before buying!
