For any parties who seek to gain a more thorough understanding of why nuclear power solves many (if not all) of today's power needs here's a resource that exlores mostly the benefits.

Also, there was a paper written by a NYC analyst firm from approximately 5 years ago that spends significant time crunching the numbers between green vs nuclear solutions and demonstrates the pros/cons of both solutions. This paper provides a very good baseline to start the process of assessing costs of either solution relative to the amount of power output from a specific solution. Unforunately, I seem to have misplaced the link but I'm sure someone can dig it up.

- Demonstrates the sheer capacity that nuclear has over other solutions. Spoiler alert - you might be pleasantly surprised.
TL;DR - Nuclear offers significnantly more benefits than most ppl (in this thread) seem to realize after you actually consider the output capacities of the different solutions.
