I'm pro nuclear energy and think that people who are against are just unknowingly helping the fossil fuel industry.

It's good especially compared to fossil fuels. People are very afraid of nuclear waste so we will keep track of it and know where it is. Fossil fuel waste is also very dangerous but it's emitted as a part of everyday life straight into the atmosphere and isn't directly and immediately harmful to people. So no one gives a crap about it. To me this is a big advantage to nuclear.

That's an excellent point.

Things are improving, too, but there is also loads of waste from renewables. I think some wind turbines are practically impossible to recycle. That's a lot of resources to throw into landfill.
