As long as there's at least some nat gas or nuclear or renewable in the power mix, there are significant reductions in carbon emissions.

The other costs you mention, water, land use, etc., are local problems.  Climate is global, though.  Carbon emissions are the main concern for any serious environmentalist and it's not a close question.

Emissions output is not the only standard we need to measure. Local problems become global problems.

I said it was the main concern.  Not the only concern. A local problem could become a global problem but not always. CO2 or other GHG in the atmosphere starts out as a global problem.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
