I saw an interesting TED debate last night about Nuclear power vs Wind/Solar.
For the whole world's energy, we'd have to cover an area the size of the US in wind turbines and/or solar panels.
Whereas the amount of uranium needed to provide electricity for one person's entire lifetime would fit in a Coke can (2 lbs of waste). (even more amazing, when compared to the amount of CO2 from the equivalent amount of coal generated electricity)
