>f) Because long-term storage of nuclear waste is still not properly solved.
>g) Because mining nuclear materials is an ecological disaster. Also, guess who's a big exporter of uranium in Europe? Russia.
These are real problems, however I've seen people state that they are entirely results of political decisions that could be revoked.
That's because the reactor waste can be recycled to make more power, reducing the fuel and the waste problem tremendously.

But I don't understand why this matters if climate change is real and lots of countries have nuclear weapons anyway. Though I suppose not Germany.
