It takes a fair bit of oil to mine them though.

Nuclear energy has a safety record that puts ALL OTHER TYPES OF POWER TO SHAME.


Really, when was the last time a wind generator blade flew off and hit California?

Comparing the power output between a wind turbine and a major nuclear power station is a bit like comparing a mouse to an elephant. A mouse dumps on your garden and you won't notice, but an elephant!

As it is, most accidents in power stations occur in the electrical generation part of the station, as in turbines or alternators failing as opposed to the primary fuel source or boiler failing.
