Comment on 7 reasons why nuclear energy is not the answer to solve climate change

Nuclear is not stable nor reliable. Reliability for me is also related to safety. It is well know that this technology has issues related to problems briefly mentioned in this article in the following sections:

Weapons Proliferation Risk
Meltdown Risk
Waste Risk

Also, it looks like you did not address any of the problematic aspects of nuclear. Which also include the following:

Long Time Lag Between Planning and Operation
Cost
Mining Lung Cancer Risk
Carbon-Equivalent Emissions and Air Pollution

I thought it was used a synonym of “reliable”. Now that I think of it,I suppose it was in relation to the power grid?

Yep, it is a constant flow of energy.

About the problems - yes, there are problems and not minor ones, but OTOH we don’t have an alternative, do we? Also CO2 emissions are exaggerated - mining and other activities could involve more e-vehicles I suppose. What air pollution we are talking about? CO2?
