The world made a critical strategic mistake when it turned its back on nuclear. Had we not, new technologies would have already been proven and deployed. Solar and wind are too limited to be the long-term answer. Nuclear is going to be essential to meet future baseload power demand.
I consider that a red herring. Since the 1950s, there have only been a handful of accidents related to nuclear waste and none for over two decades.
In addition, new nuclear technologies are working toward recycling fuel and minimizing the radioactivity. This is no longer your grandfather's nuclear technology. There are issues with every technology, but nuclear waste is a manageable one.

100% agree... ... Industry will not survive on W&S.. Germany is proving that the hard way!
If you call it "true clean baseload electricity": What about nuclear waste?
