Large scale wind farms are already seeing altered erosion patterns, there are some place where solar can work, but there are plenty of places that do not get enough sun for it (such as brittan), hydro is limited by geography and is dangerous (What damn can survive a magnitude 8 earthquake?), as well as disruptive to the area.
Geosynchronous Orbital Solar powerplants are a neat idea and have very low environmental impact if you exclude the launch cost (and even those would be ameliorated over the 20-30 years expected service life.) They are also far more reliable due to being above the clouds, and the energy per square meter is better up there.
So nuclear is the only real option, and it will be a while before fusion reactors are ready. Nuclear fuel is not that big of an issue, you can do what the French did and reprocess it and then reuse it, but that is dangerous as it gets to be much closer to weapons grade. Alternatively after it has been buried for about 300 years most of the really bad stuff is gone, and while radiation levels would still be well above background for the next hundred thousand or so years it was also radioactive before we dug it up.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
