Should have went nuclear 20 years ago when lib dems blew it. The greens opposing nuclear so we will burn gas to make up the shortfall. Its not just us Germany decommissioning it's nuclear plants and increasing burning gas and coal to cover it. Look at the fuel prices explosion in Germany and uk then look at France with its nuclear power

There's 30 deaths per terawatt of coal burnt due to accidents and pollution, zero from nuclear. Then obviously tiny emissions. In France's new plants 98% of the nuclear waste will be low lever and safe in a few decades, only 2% of the waste will need stored.

We should be in the position we don't need nuclear waste in 50 years when battery storage improves. In the meantime we'll keep burning fossil fuels.
Factcheck: deaths due to nuclear accidents. Just chernobyl caused 30 direct deaths and potentially thousands more.

The worst nuclear accident to date is the Chernobyl disaster which occurred in 1986 in Ukraine. The accident killed approximately 30 people directly[23] and damaged approximately $7 billion of property.[citation needed] A study published in 2005 by the World Health Organization estimates that there may eventually be up to 4,000 additional cancer deaths related to the accident among those exposed to significant radiation levels.[24] Radioactive fallout from the accident was concentrated in areas of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. Other studies have estimated as many as over a million eventual cancer deaths from Chernobyl.[25][26] Estimates of eventual deaths from cancer are highly contested.
