You're opening a Pandora's box here...

My personal answer to the question depends a lot on the trust I have in 
the operator. From a long term impact point of view, I still think 
charcoal is a very bad idea. Chernobyl may be a wasteland today, but it 
doesn't impact me in any way. You can't walk away from global warming, 
though.

Both technologies have the great advantage of producing power 
continuously, regardless of weather. That makes them difficult to 
replace, even if we ignore cost for a moment.
