Just check out how difficult it is to get uranium into an energy source, and how little you can guarantee its safety (over the centuries), and you'll see the only alternatives away from (hydro)carbon(s) are wind, water, and solar power. I wouldn't mind seeing all of the ugly town I live in covered in a shiny sheet of silicon.... and a not-too-destructive hydroelectric or wind farm scheme is fine by me (but then I'm Dutch, so I like wind mills).
