zomg maybe we should cut back on the power needed? :O
If you take into account the mining of uranium, the building, maintenance and dismantling of the power plants nuclear is actually about as 'clean' as the latest edition of coal plants (or so I heard from a doctor in engineering).Nuclear is needed in the short term though, it's better than coal power and we have some time to figure out what to do with the waste. The other techs aren't in a place where they can provide the power required.
It would if you levelled every forest on earth and gave up growing cereals to make room, thus negating any benefit from using it. Also the type that you can get fuel from is pointless to smoke.
Short term - Nuclear.
Medium term - Renewable eg. wind, solar, tidal, geothermal
Long term - Nuclear fusion
