It’s unsafe, not renewable, not independent from natural resources (which might not be present in your country, so you need to buy from dictators) and last but not least crazy expensive.

It’s not renewable, but known reserves will power the world for a century, based solely on current average efficiency and not modern improvements

Need to buy from dictators?

I didn’t realize Australia and Canada who has highest uranium reserves are dictators. Canada also used to be highest uranium producer until relatively recently.

There is no need. Though Kazakhstan and Russia may be cheapest if you’re near there.

AFAIK in the USA, nuclear energy is the safest per unit energy generated. Solar is more “dangerous” simply because you can fall off a roof.

Nuclear energy has huge risks and potential for safety issues, yes. But sticking to the numbers, it is extremely safe.
