We, the world, need to move off fossils fuels and begin cleaning up our greenhouse gas contributions. We have something like 150 years of emissions to clean up. And we all still want to drive cars and do all the other modern, energy intensive things we do. Preferably, we would have started this before irreversible changes occurred, but we’re probably beyond that point already. So yes, we need more nuclear plans and the sooner the better.

As for the waste, that is a problem, and it’s entirely solvable. Much easier to solve than raging forest fires and the growing inhospitablity of climate change.
