A nuclear plant produces
no CO2.

The amount of "high level" waste produced is actually pretty small, and disposing of it not really very difficult. Dig a deep hole is a geologically stable area. Drop it in. Cover it with 100m of concrete. Problem solved.
Certain it's not perfect - no industrial plant can exist that doesn't have some adverse effect on the environment - but the environmental impact of a nuclear power station is a
lot less than that of a coal station.
