Do they fear statistics, which point out that nuclear is one of the safest forms of power per kilowatt, most comparable to wind and commercial (non-rooftop) solar?
But for a few paranoid NIMBY protesters, everyone knows where to put nuclear waste—send it to breeder reactors.
Also, catastrophic nuclear failures are not deadly. Radiation from Fukushima has killed 1 person. And despite being the most absurd scenario possible to contemplate, radiation from Chernobyl killed between 30-100 people.
In 2011, there were 163 wind turbine accidents in England that killed 14 people. Wind kills more people than nuclear, and nuclear makes orders of magnitude more electricity.
Technological marvel.
It didn't work reliable enough and was too costly. Closed down by the industry relatively silently...
There is a site for nuclear waste. It does not work as expected. It needs to be cleaned for a few zillions...
Nuclear is dead in Germany. Nobody wants it, it's too costly, it lacks critical solutions (like fuel reprocessing and nuclear waste storage), which also nobody wants to host.
