Agree!
There are 430+ reactors operating around the world, 93 in the US most of which have been around quite a while(40 plus years). The nuclear industry operates a lot differently than other industries, they share information with other plants and mitigate any risk. After Fukushima, they all made additional safeguards for potential risk. I've worked in Manufacturing, Oil and Gas and Nuclear is by far the safest industry to work in. There were zero deaths at either Fuk or three mile from radiation.
Budget issues aren't unique to nuclear, just look at the Kemper Project.
That's like saying we shouldn't go to digital media because newspaper editors are losing their jobs. Nuclear employs a good bit of people to build and maintain, not to mention security and associated jobs.
None has left the plants. It takes up less than an acre. At the rate of advancing technology, I'm sure there will be a solution to the waste eventually.
I'll take a 100-acre nuclear plant footprint over 7000 acres of solar panels.
