I used to drink this stuff straight from the bottle -- it has a LOT of sugar, and so your tastebuds are just overwhelmed. In fact, before a speech meet a teammate and I would just go crazy with this stuff.
The skyrocket syrup has the most caffeine per ml that I've found in a drink, but that habit became too expensive for a high school student who lacks a job, and thus I just switched straight to No-Doz.
You can actually measure exactly how much caffeine you ingest and up or down the dosage if need be based on how crazed you get.

Nuclear energy isn't renewable, but it provides a large amount of power in a small amount of space.
Nuclear reactions occur with the fission of uranium-235, which is an extremely rare kind of uranium. However, reactors that are known as "fast-breeder reactors" take in the much more common version of uranium, uranium-238, and "breed" plutonium-239, which can also be fissioned.
There are a few problems with wind and solar power. Sure, they're cheap and they're clean, but a person has to keep in mind that the sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow. So to deal with this, you now need large batteries to store massive amounts of electricity to be used when solar and wind are unable to generate electricity.
Another inherent problem with solar and wind is the amount of space vs. the amount of energy produced. Both solar and wind energy need large amounts of space to create anywhere near the amount of energy that nuclear produces.
What about nuclear waste?
Spent nuclear fuel rods are solids, not liquids or gasses, so they don't "leak". In the past 35 years, there have been over 3,000 transports of nuclear waste across the country totalling 1.7 million miles. There have been 8 "accidents", but none of them ever resulted in any fatalities, environmental damage, etc. The containers that store nuclear waste are DESIGNED to be put through some serious abuse. They're made to sit through jet fuel at temperatures of over 1,200F for long periods of time. They make these things to withstand freefalls from 70 ft up, which is something like the equivalent of a 120mph head on crash.

It took me long enough to learn how to do the original in under a minute... now I have to learn this?

Nuclear power rocks.
