Uranium mining isn't clean at all. Between Greenpeace (full of business school hacks) and lobby pressured EU courts, there's a middle ground.

What do you mean? Modern in situ uranium mining is one of the lowest impact mining of resources we have. It's not perfectly clean, but it's pretty darn good.

I mean it's not clean

Not the point. It's not clean, it shouldn't be called clean end of the story.

Do you think rare earth minerals for batteries and photovoltaics grow on trees?

Who talked about those? Not the fucking point. Nuclear isn't clean.

No point, old mate just can't deal with anything but perfection. No energy source is clean, so let's not bother.
