Is nuclear energy clean energy?

In: Nuclear Energy [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, it is just the cleanest real energy form we currently have. All energy creation is "dirty".

The so called "green" energies are often so small in total volume, they do not produce enough energy to recreate themselves. Wind systems kill birds and have fossil fuel plants running to supplement wind and this "dirt" is ignored in the total output. They also require a great deal of maintenance from fossil fuel trucks.
