one thing that i dont see talked about alot is, what industry players does nuclear favor vs "green" energy
nuclear, like coal/oil requires heavy up-front capital costs and favors already large players in the industry
what i have heard said is that wind, solar, geo etc can be implemented in more decentralized way and with lower up-front costs which encourage competition, entrepreneurship, innovation (materials, distribution, pricing etc) and potentially more resiliance to central failure
personally, im not anti-nuclear (despite having lived through fukushima) but the idea of more competitive, lower capital-costs and decentralized power grids sounds very enticing if its at all possible
