I reckon I'm an outlier but I see nuclear power as a major part of eliminating the carbon economy. Renewable energy is nice but it is not able to provide a base load and may not be sufficient or even available for periods of peak demand. Solar and wind power don't do you any good on a hot, humid, still night when air conditioners are cranked full. Yes such power, its fuel and waste need to be well regulated but that is possible. I don't have the visceral fear of nuclear energy some apparently have.
