Nuclear has its fair share of NIMBY-ism (especially regarding storage of waste), also benefits from "magic" energy storage technologies (so you can run them at higher efficiency) and is also reliant on breakthroughs (technological and regulatory) here and there to support many people's arguments why it's such great technology. If both solutions didn't have up and down-sides there wouldn't be such long discussions on HN about it.
