Not Ranked
I was in Europe several years ago and I was amazed to see how many small nuclear power plants there are over there.
We are lucky to have so much hydro power production up here. However, every time the power company wants to build another dam, the environmentalists so nuts and try to haul it. Wind power isn't all that big here but a major project was just stopped because the environmentalists managed to find a golden eagle nest 12 miles from the proposed power generation site.
Everyone wants to have all of the conveniences of modern life but they don't seem to realize that products have to be produced and transported to the market including energy. We cannot go back to the 50's and 60's when it was believed that the "Solution to polution was dilution" but there must be some middle ground.
