I would normally vote Nuclear, simply because I like the sound of having a Nuclear run world. It's a step towards alternative power sources, and makes me happy to know that technology is at least being put to use.
But in the case of pollution, I'd rather have green-house gasses. Yes, eventually they will boil the earth and destroy all life, but I really don't see how much different that would be with what waste is left over from a nuclear plant (nukr-u-lar, as my president says). If I happen to fall into a dumping site for nuclear waste, and let's say that there was a leak* in a barrel or something, I would more than likely die a long horrible death from toxic levels of radiation poisoning. Green house gasses simply try to take over the world slowly.
I wouldn't mind there being enough Nuclear plants that there was a serious amount of excess energy available. I'm more on par with more Nuclear plants, running well under full power, than few plants that are being overtaxed with energy requirements.

Babbling again.
