The media has a fascination with "alternative" and "renewable" energy, such as wind power. What if wind power is a bunch of hot air?

...if we wanted to go totally green, we'd have to carpet the [United Kingdom] with more windmills than exist in the whole world.

Undoubtedly, we need more power plants in the future. Utilizing windmills here and there sounds okay, but I don't want to see an entire countryside covered with them. I believe that nuclear power will be the most cost effective form of mass power, the cleanest and the safest in terms of the cost of human life -- compared to coal and hydro electric.
