Also is nuclear energy clean energy?

Ex. energy sources ::: efficient battery operated cars, using nuclear energy, etc..

Ex. of incentives ::: Tax credits

Which ETF mirrors the Nuclear Energy and Alternative Energy sector ?

- More diesel genarators
- Natural gas power generators
- Wind turbines
- Hydroelectric
- Nuclear energy
- A central solar power system
- Coal
- Wave Power
- Growing crops to convert to Ethanol/Biodiesel to burn in a power plant

PLEASE explain why and talk about the pros and cons. Try to mitigate or solve each con. For example, if you chose solar power, is there gonna be no power all the time at night? PLS i need opinions.

I was rather surprised to read that wind energy has caused more injuries to humans than nuclear power in America. The articles are interesting and short.

I understand we're trying to cut back on Coal and Nuclear Energy, and find other sources such as Wind... yet am unsure of the issue at hand? Does it all have to with Global Warming?

I especially want to know the Political Stance on this, and what your opinion is on it...

-Simple yet Detailed Answers Greatly Appreciated!

I can pay extra money each money to my electric company and (supposedly) get my energy from wind power. This supposedly helps save the planet.

Why can't I buy nuclear energy? France gets 80% of their electricity from nuclear power. There is an endless supply and it doesn't give oil money to the terrorists in the middle east.

Is it better than nuclear energy?

Out of solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, hydrogen fuel cells, tidal or wave energy, nuclear energy, and biomass which is the most common used?

if uranium needs to be mined from the earth, wont it run out some day? and if what will replace it? there has to be something or else they wouldnt call nuclear energy a renewable resource.

All I ever hear republicans talk about is nuclear energy, shale oil(which is very costly), or drill baby drill. I just wish they would get with the program. It looks like they are out of touch.

We all know how much more powerful nuclear energy is. I don't get it, is it a fad? Solar and Wind energy is a waste of land and ineffective. Yea the technology is probably going to improve, but so is nuclear technology. I don't know much about this stuff, this is simply my assumption.

what is the best form of alternative energy in you opinion and why??
in my opinion i think nuclear energy is...

should i change to 50% or 100% wind power energy?
what r some pros and cons of using wind power energy?
i know its green, less gas, coal, nuclear energy will be use less and it will save some money every month
but they asked if i want 50% or 100% wind energy as if theres some thing bad about it...is there?

For example we have enough wind power in the United States to replace all of the fossil fuel and nuclear power sources in the United States.

Athough wind does not always blow when you need it, it would seem that in a power grid you will always have wind blowing somewhere to put electricity into the grid.

The cost of wind power at 4 cents per kilowatt hour is competitive with the cost of electricity generated by coal and nuclear energy and less than the cost of generating electricity using natural gas.

What is preventing us from replacing our fossil fuel power plants and our nuclear power plants with electricity from renewable non carbon sources?
