Weapons proliferation is definitely a strike against nuclear. A few other strikes:
- It still requires mining, so is it any cleaner than solar + storage?
- Waste is significantly less recyclable than other green energy waste.
- High cost and long timelines to build.
- Major risks when damaged by weather, accidents, or damaged intentionally.
- The biggest proponents of nuclear seem to be the oil/gas industry, and politicians aligned with oil/gas. Hmm...
