If done right, nuclear energy is one of the best sources of energy that is available to us right now. Solar and wind are unpredictable. Hydro is damaging to environment.
We should definitely have renewable yes. But nuclear is one of the best stable, controllable source of energy.

The nuclear waste problem is often overblown. Most people don't know how little waste there is and it's typically stored on site. If we learn from the French where they reprocess spent fuel, the amount of waste is really miniscule.

US don't reprocess their spent fuel though. So not an ideal side to learn from. I think UK stopped or planning to stop reprocessing too.
