Didn't realize nuclear reactors were that inefficient. But I get most of my power from hydro, so that's perhaps an unfair comparison.

And, hey, fuel is cheap; the energy density of uranium is pretty spectacular. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_efficiency http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_efficiency
