    The biggest, best argument against nuclear energy is the limited fuel supply.

    If the world replaced base load power with nuclear (as a nuclear plus solar plus wind energy mix) we would only have enough uranium for something like 50 years

    The waste storage problem isn’t worth it for so little time, but OTOH we need to solve the storage problem anyway, and 50 years of CO2 clean power would be useful for aiding decarbonising the energy supply

      I am not trying to be condescending but I would very much like to know where you got your facts and figures from.
