Thanks for editing you comment with some substance...

You do realize that cost and especially viability of wind and solar varies dramatically geographically? Renewables are not as easy to deploy in Poland and the fact that we're going with nuclear is precisely to address the coal situation. (Which is what you're attacking btw...)

Not to mention nuclear is also the safest technology out there so far (read up stats on the deaths per each technology, per megawatt)
