"Repair an entire planet's atmosphere" vs "store a few hundred tons of radioactive material safely" are definitely very different levels of problems.
Not to mention the possibility that spent fuel could be of use to future generations for some kind of future science and it would all conveniently be in one place.

Nuclear is predictable which means it’s perfect for base load generation. Something all the other “clean” technologies are not.
