I'm pro-nuke as well (which is convenient as I work as an engineer in the nuclear industry).
WRT habitat destruction, this week I attended a very interesting talk at the Jimmy Carter Library - here in Atlanta - given by a wildlife ecologist. Subject was bears and their particular difficulties. Most eye-opening was his discussion of the destruction of the sun bear's habitat in Borneo.
