I do not consider coal to be a modern source of fuel, it’s clearly a legacy source that we need to be rid of.

For what it's worth, nuclear energy kills fewer people per kilowatt hour than any other energy source, including solar and wind. This is as of 2012.

Well too bad because closing nuclear reactors right now means reopening coal plants, as we've recently seen in Germany and France. We don't really have the luxury of having time when it comes to energy/electricity and nuclear objectively is the best stopgap measure until (if) we manage to master intermittent energy sources.

I also never said anything about closing reactors.

I recommend you try and understand the position somebody’s trying to take before you argue against them, lest you end up embarrassing yourself arguing the wrong points, like you are now.

I added some clarity to my point above.
