It is the opposite. Nuclear shills don't base their opinion on facts, they would rather hope for a miracle solution that is, when viewed rationally, complete nonsense. Apart from the extremely toxic waste for which we have not found geological structures stable enough to prevent it from leaking, building nuclear power plants is a really CO2-intensive process, especially with regard to all the concrete involved. The most pressing issue, however, is the fuel. What do you think nuclear reactors generate power with? Lots of air and goodwill? Entire regions have to be dug up for Uranium, of which useful isotopes then have to be enriched before they can be used economically in reactors. Furthermore, uranium is even less abundant in the Earth than oil and natural gas. If we would adopt nuclear power generation at large scale world-wide, we would deplete our scarce uranium probably in a few decades, long before oil. So we're just substituting one problem for another with nuclear energy. It isn't sustainable and renewable because at some point shortly after adoption, the fuel would run out.
Tell me you don't understand the energy density of nuclear fuel without telling me...
We also have centuries worth of uranium if it's used for power generation, even if it was the main fuel.
Lol found the gas&oil shill!
What a trainwreck your post is, you're saying CO2 costs for building a nuclear plant outweighs the CO2 fossil fuels would generate for the same amount if energy created, it's like thinking you can bicycle to the moon.
