"<a href=""http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uz6xOFWi4A&amp;t=0m33s"">0:33</a> Just because we're moving to renewable energy doesn't mean the nuclear plants need to go away", in fact, well managed nuclear plants are a very good idea, since a lot of other clean energy sources won't work everywhere (solar isn't so good away from the equator, wind needs wind, geothermal requires a geologically active region, or massive upfront development costs, tidal needs the ocean, hydroelectric needs fast running water, and so forth), but nuclear works anywhere you can get the fuel to.  To be clear, I understand nuclear is non-renewable, I'm just saying clean is a bit more important than renewable, so long as running out isn't an immediate concern.
