> Nuclear is as clean as clean diesel

If you ignore the long term waste. There is no way to place a cost on storing that waste. So people hand wave it away. Hoping a way to deal with it is found.

That was sarcasm. There is no clean diesel. Germany's Volkswagen had a major lawsuit in the US because it branded diesel green . Obviously it was not.

The alternative is pumping radioactive, polluting waste into the atmosphere, which is exactly what Germany is doing right now with its coal-burning plants.

You like breathing radioactive coal waste?
