    Plus there are plenty of people, like myself, who live in areas where the electricity comes from mostly renewable sources.

      Me too. I’m pretty well surrounded by nuclear and hydro-electric here in southern Ontario.

          Somewhat renewable through breeder reactors.

          Still, nuclear energy has a very good carbon footprint (unlike coal plants) and the public image of them being polluters was a joint disinformation project by Greenpeace and the oil companies in the early 2000s. Greenpeace backpedaled hard on their stance in the recent years.
