Solar probably has a worse waste problem than nuclear (and probably a higher risk of actually harming me in the case of retail solar). Batteries and storage do too. The damage from a hydro failure is higher.

Wind might be a solid par technically. It does kill more people than nuclear though; that is a big negative. Better displaced than dead.

There isn't an option here that is obviously better. It would be pretty sensible to loosen the environmental restrictions on new nuclear plants, protect them from NIMBYs and then leave it to the market to go with whatever is cheapest. Could be anything, I have no particular horse to back as long as the race is fair; although I would like to see more nuclear because it just looks to me like the technically best option.
