  1. It's clean and abundant. When this energy nuisance actually turns into an energy crisis it will be the solution.


  2. Very low environmental footprint - much lower than even solar (too much land area) and wind power (again too much land area) and it works 24/7 where most alternative renewables don't.  Not much CO2 production (most nuclear power plants have emergency diesel generators which they are required to run periodically - that is where they produce CO2).  Nuclear is very cost competitive with coal and can produce electricity in 'industrial' quantities.  

  3. Low Carbon dioxide emissions, no particulate emissions, it produces a lot of energy from a relatively small amount of fuel and it is therefore easy to stockpile reserves. It also takes up a lot less space than wind or solar to produce the same amount of energy.
