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.

Then what is clean? By that definition Solar and Wind aren't because copper and iron mines aren't clean.

Now now, there are words that you can say to make your point that don't make you seem deranged.
