Renewables also have toxic byproducts. And also destroy nature. It is mot like they are greenest green all the way.

Why the download? Somebody must mine the heavy metals in solar panels, same way some one must mine uranium. Water dams destroy natural habitats of animals and people, I can continue. Nuclear plants take up quite a little of space compared to their output. And the fuel cycle is completely closed - meaning none of it leaks out by design(gas, coal). Not all countries in the world recycle or eco disposal the solar panels.
