To ignore wind solar and wave (as well as geothermal, etc.) would be 
irresponsible.  But we have technology NOW that works.

I didn't say there was no waste problem - just no pollution (at least not
of thwe form you all complain about the most these days - acid rain, CO2,
"greenhouse gases", etc).  Yes, we DO need to do something with it
eventually but as long as they have room in the "can" to store it, why
not.  And I don't think I've been "contentious in the least - I just think
you all who ARE contentious about nuclear need to realize you're fighting
against one of the best ways to help the environment.  Sure, solar wind
and waves are sources as well but they are not yet VIABLE technology. 
Maybe if you devoted your time and effort to THAT, they would be.  But
nuclear is viable NOW.
