The problem with nuclear is that the other side does the same, which is why it's hard to have interesting discussion on the topic. If you want actual arguments on how nuclear is not the miracle energy some people would like to believe it is, look how here is in France half of our reactors had to be shutdown because of the heat during the recent heatwave or for maintainance, how we are unable to build those new gen reactors in any predictable deadline and budget, and how we struggle to shutdown older reactors which means we have to pay to prolong them over and over which is getting more and more expensive - and it's for an old tech from the 70s.
Of course there are many upside to it too (low carbon emissions and not from Russia among the obvious ones)
But it's pretty rare to find balanced and nuanced speech on the topic unfortunately, and I don't find the anti nuclear side to be any worse than the pro nuclear side on this.
