there's also the political side of things: - countries having nuclear not wanting developing countries to have nuclear energy that act as a gateway to developing nuclear weapons over time.(I think this was the case for iran, not sure) - in case of conflicts/wars a nuclear site blowing up is a much bigger deal than a coal plant or wind farm blowing up. renewable energy doesn't have these problems.
