I think it's good to recognise gas and nuclear as being preferable to coal and oil, but green they are not. I consider them transitional energy sources; we will be stuck with them for a long time while we transition to greener energy, but coal and oil need to be stopped as soon as possible.

After the Fukushima disaster, Germany closed its nuclear power plants and replaced them with coal plans; absolutely the worst possible reaction to that disaster. We do need a middle category to recognise that nuclear and gas are better than coal and oil, but I really don't want energy companies selling me nuclear and gas power as part of my green energy subscription.
