I'd like to note, that nuclear power is (by far) not a perfect solution. Of course - nuclear power plants produce less CO2 then a coal plant (in fact a coal plant also produces more "free" radioactivity through the disposal of C14 and similar (more or less) radioactive isotopes).
But: The problems (e.g. what to do with the garbage?) with nuclear power are not solved. There is only a limited supply of (usable) resources - and the overall problem (limited resources vs ever-growing need for energy) is not solved. There are some safety considerations to take into account (also modern plants are very safe, older ones are not), etc
Oh and please DONT remember the cost of storing radioactive garbage. Nowadays companies dont have to pay those costs (at least in Germany) - the state (through this: the tax payer) has to carry those costs. Take them into account and the energy price calculations are far less convincing.
Dont get me wrong: I am not against nuclear power. But I believe that you really should remember the "dark side" of it. Whatever the industry might be telling - nuclear power is not perfect.
