The thing about nuclear is that it has a major "told you so" moment since if we adopted it 50 or so years ago we would have been not burning as much coal for all of those years. It /is/ better than coal environmentally. Ironically even several exclusion zones from major fuck ups would keep the area purer than blanketing it with coal exhaust and lesser tailings than the sheer bulk of coal mining. Battery and solar applications just weren't ready in the past yet in scaleability. I won't get into the political with us or against us strawmen.
