I would much rather live right next to a wind farm, or a solar PV or solar heat plant, or a tidal or wave power installation, than even a natural gas power plant.

I was just dissing the coal plant.
I would rather see thorium MSR in place of liquid cooled uranium/plutonium reactors.
We have to be realistic because the volume of power we use will not significantly change without EXTREME hardship, war and arm flailing.
Thorium would allows us to transistion our high energy society to one that at least creates less waste.
