A real NEW Green idea. Small modular reactors (SMR) could solve Army fuel problems and counter EMP taking a countries grid out...by having Mini-Grids for power. From anti-nuclear to nuclear advocate
But some environmentalists, who were previously against nuclear power, have shown that it's possible to change sides.
Environmentalist Michael Shellenberger gave a TED Talk that's been viewed nearly 1.5 million times on how the fear of nuclear is hurting the planet.
He argues that renewable energy sources aren't widespread or consistent enough to take over energy production from fossil fuel sources (it's not always windy; the sun only shines during the day), and tries to debunk fears about nuclear waste.

We still have to figure out a solution to storing spent fuel and waste, but nuclear is clearly the long-term solution to the world's power needs. Solar/wind/hydroelectric/geothermal/etc can only get you a fraction of what we need to power our way of life.
Until technology comes up with something better, nuclear is the way to go.
