Really? I think its pretty simple.

It still requires mining. It requires a plan to dispose of waste (which only ONE country actually has). There are over 600 mines that are in need of remediation around the world that haven't been accomplished, with at least a hundred waste sites that are still not remediated.

Which leads to the single best reason to avoid nuclear: Nobody is responsible enough yet. In most countries that can afford to do it, it will go to the lowest bidder to operate and run and we can see that governments and wars come and go. Humans are shit at being responsible, particularly when money or power is dangled in front of them.

Solar is the cheapest and cleanest form of energy with the most recyclable materials.
