Solar Thermal Power

Do u think it is wrong to use nuclear power plant?
Wind turbines and Solar Photovoltaic power plant are good for environment, but not powerful enough to make electricity for city. That is why we need nuclear power plant. But it is very dangerous, if it gets accident, many people will die from radiation. So Thermal Power Plant is better. It is safer and better than nuclear plant. But still it is bad for environment. So why don`t we use Hydro Power Plants? 70% of electricity in Brazil are from Hydro Power Plants.
Its a lie that solar power and wind turbines are good for the environment. The compounds used to build either create huge amounts of pollution, as does disposal of them when they are worn out. The foot print of a high energy solar installation is massive and kills everything that lives there. Wind turbines kill birds by the thousands. Neither technology can be self sustaining without huge injections of taxpayer money. I used to do some engineering work in both fields and studied them in depth.
Nuclear power is not all that dangerous. The navy has been using it for many years without accident and the technology just keeps getting better. It is easier on the environment than any other technology you can come up with, including hydroelectric. Hydroelectric destroys huge tracts of land and causes droughts as well as killing off species that rely on the free flow of water. In addition, the US has tapped out almost all viable rivers, there is just no place to put more hydroelectric generators.
While nuclear waste is an issue that needs to be resolved, it is clearly the path to future energy resources.
