True, they don't create Greenhouse Gasses that cause global warming but they do create Radioactive Atomic Waste that has to be stored safely and GUARDED for thousands of years. What if a Terrorist stole some atomic waste? They could build a dirty bomb...
It would cost $15 x 24 x 365 x 1000 =
$131,400,000 to pay for One Security Guard's
Salary per thousand years... Multiply That by the
Number of Security Guards Needed and you get a
HUGE PILE OF MONEY!

Or how we don't have a viable alternative currently in place. Oooh or how companies like pge have cause cities like Modesto to make it so they aren't even allowed to install solar panels on their property because it's been made illegal to do so!"

Nuclear watchdog group causes stir with call to financially support existing nuclear plants
"Hard choices" are needed in the face of dire climate projections, Union of Concerned Scientists says.
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) surprised environmental advocates and energy officials on Thursday when it called for keeping existing nuclear power plants open for as long as safely possible to provide a wider window for transitioning to renewable energy resources.
The group has spent years criticizing the nuclear industry for its safety problems and high costs. But in a new report entitled “The Nuclear Power Dilemma,” UCS concludes the severity of the climate crisis demands that all zero carbon energy sources, including nuclear power, should be viewed as options for drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions...
