The reality is that continued reliance on fossil fuel results in spreading uranium (through coal fly ash) and and CO2 (all fossil fuels) and none of the (so called) clean power sources like wind and solar can provide a steady baseline of energy
Nuclear is the method to get us through the next 50 years without continuing with to increase the production of greenhouse gases, fear mongering over nuclear pollution (uranium from coal fly ash produces more annually than the accidents that you mentions) only drives us deeper into dependence on fossil fuels
Is it s tough choice? Yes, but getting emotional over the scary work 'nuclear' does not make a better decision
