    Nuclear is the only solution for sustainable energy production. Unless we somehow revolutionize power storage, there is no other renewable means for mass-scale energy production with as little environment impact as Nuclear.

    Solar at that scale would take up millions of acres only to be beaten by a rainy day. Wind turbines are notoriously unreliable, often don’t last for very long, and can’t be fully recycled. Not to mention they’re ugly.

    All the rest depend on your countries natural resources, and often force countries out of energy independence.

    Nuclear is quick to develop (see parent comment source), safer than any other form of energy production, produces the least pollutants (see previous link), and takes up the smallest land area.

    It’s pretty obvious that Nuclear is the future.
