The wind farm is green. It is suffering from a bout of NIMBY-itis and may look a bit pale, but it is decidedly green.

The nuke plant is only green in the sense that it produces waste that can be contained. But it still produces waste. You have to find a place to put all this stuff for a few thousand years, and as has been shown, it carries its own risks no matter how well you originally design it.

All your suggestions are valid, but the fact is, nothing is green until it can operate WITHOUT having to deal with its byproducts later. Wind is about the greenest we have if all you count is dead birds....
