I am “no one” and no expert in the field, but Lovelock’s book “The revenge of Gaia” – a brilliant book – explored all possible “clean” energy alternatives, and they are not so green as they appear to be. Even tidal, solar or wind power. If you want to know why, read the book, its great.
The point is that after Fukushima disaster, nuclear power became the bad and evil energy source. It’s not all that. It might be a really good option (again, read the book to understand).
And now, even more, after this article that has been published on Scientfic American:
