American nuclear power plants are much safer than the foreign ones you're describing. So, it's a very, very, very, good option for us.
The thing people always forget though, is they go on and on about all these renewable sources of energy, and in many places, we just can't use them.
In the midwest, where are we going to put the windmills? Chop down our forests and put em up in their place? Solar panels? Well, we might get sun for a total of a few months. We have trees, clouds, and snow that block a large amount of solar energy. Again, if you want a solar farm, where are you going to put it?

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
