Of course the problem with nuclear is the incredibly dangerous waste. Nuclear isn't practical until we can figure out fusion.
Actually that isn't that much of a problem. The waste is almost entirely long lived alpha and beta emitters that decay at a very slow rate. Stored in a repository like Yucca Mountain, this waste poses no hazard. The casks for storage are nearly indestructible. On top of that, if we really wanted to, we could reprocess the waste into usable materials like the French already do.
