If these libs were really concerned about clean and effieciant safe for the environment sources of energy and if they had half a brain they would endorse Nuclear power.

I consulted for 2 power companies and found out that wind farms require about 35 acres of land to generate 50MW, and it is very noisy.
Solar requires over 100 acres to produce 50MW and is prohibitively costly.
A nuclear power plant on about 4 acres of land can produce anywhere form 800MW to 1500MW and are very clean and inexpensive to run.

Nuclear waste is not really a problem as all plants built after 1985 have to provide thier own spent fuel storage for no less than 40 years.
Hospitals, especially those that treat cancer are the nations largest producers of radio active waste and yet everyone always wants to attack the power industry.

Radioactive waste is bad

I consulted for 2 power companies and found out that wind farms require about 35 acres of land to generate 50MW,

so

and it is very noisy.

This is plain BS.

I couldn't even hear the NEG Micon 900/52 from 300 yards away. The 20 MPH wind was 100 times more noisy.

I don't believe this at all.
