Nuclear plants are a terrible way to address climate change. They have problems with safety, cost, weapons proliferation and waste that eliminate them as a viable low-carbon technology. The alternative renewable sources are safer and less expensive without the waste issue. Plus they provide a more secure and dependable energy supply where, because they are largely owned and operated at the local level, the economic benefits flow mostly to the local owners.

NNuclear is a bad choice.
