Fukushima wasn't an accident.

The aesthetics of windmills and solar farms are subjective. Personally, far more visual horrors have been visited on our landscape by the appalling building thrown up every where (please refer to every B&Q in existence). I like wind farms.

Renewables are not unreliable or inefficient. The technology will become part of the everyday infrastructure soon, at least in countries where the governments and people understand the potential for clean, cheap energy.

We don't know if we can safely store spent nuclear fuel long-term because the first commercial plant was only opened in the mid 1950's, which is a ludicrously insignificant about of time when it comes to the half-life of the fuel. We have zero idea how the facilities will look in two thousand years. My bet? Leaking like fuck.
