Because its a good power source.
And there isn't another viable energy source yet.
Hydrogen car? yeah right. Remember the Hindenburg?
Electric car? Forget long trips plus electricity is still mainly produced through the burning of fossil fuels so its not a "clean alternative".
Ethanol? Don't get me started. It takes twice the amount of energy to produce the ethanol. The ratio is unbalanced. Basically we are wasting fossil fuels to get it and not gaining anything. AND it makes the price of animal feed and corn skyrocket which in turn makes food prices go through the roof. You can trace the hike in prices of everyday grocery items to the production of ethanol.
Nuclear Energy would be a great way to go, but people are scared of it. We already have some plants in the US, but the production of more is very difficult to do and its more of a supplement to fossil fuels. And its a lot cleaner than you'd think.
