I heard a story about the Netherlands.
Apparently they turned off their nuclear plants to go green and focus on solar and wind.
Apparently they had to have coal powered backup to cover the shortfall in green technology.
On a side note building a giant solar farm comes with it's own environmental drawbacks. Bird populations suffer due to radiation and reflection of said panels.
Nuclear appears to be the most environmentally friendly of all the options available provided there's no meltdown...
