The reason for nuclear is that it has proven trackrecord of decorbanizing an industrialized economy. [2] As for the waste, it pays to extend 'relative' - nuclear leaves a coke-can size of waste safely stored on site for a person's lifetime energy needs, including transportation. For comparison, other baseload energy generation methods create tens of tons of waste a lot of which ends up in atmosphere. Whole waste generated for decades of generating 10-20% of grid power in US, all of it, will fit on a football field ~ 50feet high. Then, if not for politics, one can follow France, and reprocess the waste into more fuel. France got waste reprocessing to the extent where decades of electricity provided to Paris only leave several glass slabs of waste behind [1].
