Nuclear power provides enough megawatts for creating sustainable, electricity based heavy industry. If we're going to become zero carbon, that means we also need a system to fuel steel foundries, chemical manufacuring, and cement mixers without coal.

Not that I oppose to nuclear in principle, I only wanted to point that for heavy industry there are clean alternatives in development using mirrors.
