Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. About 15% of Canada's electricity comes from nuclear power, with 19 reactors mostly in Ontario providing 13.5 GWe of power capacity. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.

This is such a stupid question.
The last "NO" option is contradictory.
Wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal are dirtier than nuclear energy, and oh, BTW, thorium IS nuclear energy.
