Is nuclear power the best way to meet the ever-increasing energy needs of the planet, or do alternative energy sources provide a viable alternative?
it depends, if you want a green enviroment and a low risk of radiation posioning and cheap power then you pick renewables, if you want a dangerous power source that could kill people and will cost taxpayers and consumers a fortune so big companies can make loads of profits you go nuclear, essentially renewables are the logical intelligent choice, but as politicians are greedy money grabbing scum they go nuclear

Good point, but with everything going green, don't you think that public opinion will cause politicians to choose renewable energy instead?

if politicians did what they were elected to do and listened to the people then yes, unfortunatley the government has no intrest in public opinion
What we need is some Nuclear Fusion, but that's not possible at the moment.

I agree that politicians are greedy, but just look at the recent election. If all the government cared about was profit, then McCain would be president. I'm not trying to turn this into a Obama vs. McCain debate, but if McCain won, then he probably would have brought more profit to the government at the people's expense IMO. I think people are too scared to use nuclear power, either from the lessons of history (World War II) or what they see in the movies.
Be specific, what kind of "renewable energy" are you referring to?

(1) Yes, and it already happens in some countries.
(2) I don't think this has to do with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Many people today are scared to use nuclear power from the Chernobyl lesson and the concerns regarding nuclear waste managament.
Hey, VGChartz girl!!
Not all countries have the capacity to use renewable energy. Those that do, should. In the end it's actually going to be cheaper, because solar and wind plants require less maintenance and waste storage.
Nuclear is just a terrible option, the waste takes 10 000 years to become safe to be near. Even ignoring Chernobyl it's a bad idea
