wait... seriously?

nothing aggravates me more than knowing the entire point of a NUCLEAR REACTOR is just to BOIL WATER so the steam can turn a turbine to generate electricity.

it's a giant explosive radioactive kettle >:(

Uh, that's how all electricity is generated, by turning turbines. The difference is what fuel is burned to heat the water to create the steam. Theoretically, Nuclear power is the "cleanest" in the short term, because there are no emissions from the "rods." It's the "waste" that takes centuries to become clean enough to dispose of in the environment, which in turn makes it the worst.
