Serious question: anyone know what percentage of the electricity we use in PV comes from nuclear power plants?
I'd to have 100% of my electricity created by nuclear power plants! Is that an option?

Community Choice Energy programs "get their electricity supply from a variety of renewable resources. Renewable energy is simply defined as energy from a source that is not depleted when used or any energy source that is naturally occurring, therefore, inexhaustible. Renewable energy is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel. Renewable energy resources include biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, and water.

@JaneGilman: I hope you have that option someday to choose 100% nuclear power.
How would you like the radioactive waste shipped to your home - UPS or FedEx?

@UPS or FedEx: Thanks, I'm pro-Choice!
Off-topic: I'll know that the "Climate Change community" is serious about their concerns when they have given their full backing to the construction of many small nuclear power plants using technology of the 2010s (not that of the 1950s and 1960s).

"many small nuclear power plants using technology of the 2010s"
And other than on drawing boards, where are these miraculous power plants located around the world, showing proof of concept?
I think that you are quite open-minded, taking your portion of nuclear waste and storing it in your closet!
