And yet the waste it produces is very difficult to get rid of safely and can take thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years for it to fully decay. Still, it's probably our best option right now.
What could happen is instead of an end all be all alternative, maybe employing many of the alternatives we have on a regional scale. Solar power wouldn't be ideal for places that have alot of rain and cloud cover, however an airid climate like the Southwestern United States and Middle East could benefit greatly from solar power. A place with alot of wind such as the Widwest U.S. would benefit from windpower. Then of course there's the alternative with ethonal.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
