Nuclear energy is "green", both safe and non polluting and given proper
reprocessing, largely renewable.

Nuclear is also the only source that is currently viable at the scale
necessary to eliminate coal and nat gas fueled generation, and further
to provide subsidized charging electricity for electric/hybrid vehicles
to further reduce oil consumption.

Nuclear is the only viable intermediate source that can allow a
significant shift away from fossil fuels *now* while the technologies
for other sources such as solar, wind, hydro and tidal develop further
to overcome the significant issues they currently have, largely the
utility scale energy storage capabilities required given the
intermittent generation of most of those sources.
