I would also like to add that alternative energy cannot compete with nuclear. Let's take a look shall we?

NUCLEAR:

Current nuclear tech can output between 1000-1500 megawatts per reactor. Reliably. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

SOLAR:

The world's biggest solar thermal energy generating facility in in California (over 1600 acres in size!) has a maximum capacity of 354 megawatts - but really only produces something like 80 megawatts at normal efficiency. And then you have to figure out how to store the energy captured during the day.

WIND:

The largest wind farm in the world (in California too) produces 1020 megawatts. That looks pretty close to nuclear! How much land do you need? 9000 acres. And of course you better hope the wind is blowing!

WATER:

China has the world's largest hydroelectric power station. 20,000 megawatts. Pretty impressive. But you need 600km2. And it cost over 20 billion USD.

SUMMARY:

With world population becoming a real challenge, and farmland and food supply getting ever more important, nuclear power offer the best cost-benefit ratio hands down.

That's my spruiking done for 2013.
