The waste is a fair point - storage isn't a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.

I'm not seeing your point of "nukes" though?

More nuclear plants means more capacity and diversification in supply chains, i.e. it's easier to acquire technology and supplies through dark channels. That will lead to more proliferation. Where do you think North Korea got its nukes? The answer is Pakistan, by the way.

I still prefer 47 grams of nuclear waste over 1950 Kg of coal pollution in the air.

That is for the same amount of energy.
