  5. Actually, I am a dummy here. Mainly because I live on the west coast so ALL the electricity comes from Hydro electricity or turbines driven by rivers...which is a continuous steady power source. Hydro electric power. Renewable and clean. I never thought about none river regions. That they got their power from burning coal or oil to heat water into steam to run the turbines. Tesla, a Serbian inventor thought on making AC power; so Edison did not want to listen. Tesla went on his own and hooked up with Westinghouse(another money man )who listened to him and financed his inventing. As he worked on AC and step-up transformers which could carry the same power hundreds of miles away. The transformers you see on utility poles are basically the same as what Tesla invented and much more. The power output was higher. He got his power from Niagara Falls river where the first turbine generator was built. Google for more information for my memory is fuzzy and it is in Google. While they knock Green Power Projects without looking at the numerous sources for power. Wind, solar, waves on the ocean, tides, hurricanes, tornados, typhoons, geothermal Also we need to use less electricity. My CFL 150 Watt output lightbulb uses 15watts of power to give me 10 times as much light...enough to light a large room like a living room. . I was first against nuclear. Then I find out that nuclear generators run on 15% purity(where as a bomb is 90%) so nuclear generators are a safe way to go. Where to put the spent fissible material once it is worn out. There is many oil wells that either were not producers or ended production so why not stuff spent rods back into the earth, deep underground? It is just a hole in the ground way below the water table and hit NOTHING. It won't change in 1000 years. Then cap them closed with a concrete cap and that should be good.
