Your choice of words is way off. No one could ever call N Power clean or sustainable. No one!!!
We need to put some effort into finding alternatives which are renewable, don't rip the guts out of the country and don't render it totally unusable.
Your right on one thing and that is we don't hear of any nuclear explosions or accidents and that is correct, we don't hear about them.
Technology as it stands doesn't provide safe nuclear power generation equipment without primary, secondary and tertiary control systems which at best rely on someone like me watching over the workings and hoping all the backup systems continue to work as planned.
What we need is SAFE power systems which can handle human stuffups in their stride without killing us or the environment into the future.
Some years back we had the pleasure of hosting a couple of children from Chernoble and to see how sick these kids are and now their kids are is something we cannot risk. Cancer of all organs and blood and just to see the change in them after a few weeks in Australia with good clean food and water was amazing but it still didn't change the outcome for them all. DEATH. Plain and simple.
Nuclear power while cheap to produce still leaves an unmanagable, dangerous residue to get rid of which will outlive all of us and our children.
