I'd say someones in trouble though.
The real problem is, people want their cake and eat it to. Can't have no electric generating plants and still have a computer, or even a phone!

Well, not really. Solar energy and wind energy can both be classified as the safest forms. With them, you don't have to worry about catastrophic and potentially damning meltdowns or the possibility of everything within a 20 mile zone either being vaporized in an instant/radiated to the point of death.
Also, you've got to dispose of the nuclear waste once you accumulate it, which is a tricky and dangerous process.
