The fear-mongers know in their hearts that global warming is mostly about money and politics, not about ecology at all. Nuclear power on the other hand if managed properly is clean and safe, the only problem is the waste. I think that the new pebble type reactors designed and built by people OTHER than the energy companies who will profit from them is the only way to go. Don't allow corners to be cut or give incentives to hit deadlines and they can build one in my backyard any day they want.

Solar panel production generates poisonous and caustic chemical waste that must be kept from release into the environment.

Nuclear power generates radioactive waste that must be kept from release into the environment.

It's not rocket science in either case.
