Clean Energy from Nuclear and Wind

Writing in today's issue of the Harvard Crimson, graduating senior Nicholas Josefowitz believes that clean energy technologies are the world's best hope for combatting global warming:

But amidst these prophecies of doom there are beacons of hope. We are fortunate enough to currently possess the necessary technology, policy know-how, and democratic institutions to avoid further devastation. We have already developed wind and nuclear power plants that can produce genuinely clean electricity at a competitive price. So-called “alternative” energy is now thoroughly mainstream.

Nuclear energy and wind power mentioned together as "clean" sources of energy in the same sentence? That's exactly the way it ought to be.
