I can show you parts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Tennessee, and some other states that might change your mind on that
point, except maybe for the overnight part...

mined out coal areas can and are being restored.

with nuke power restoration will have to wait generations till
radiation levels drop.

plus tuesday the east coast had a earthquake, one nuke power plant
lost all power both primary and backup.

the backup backup worked, so the plant didnt meltdown.

but just imagine a malfunctiong melt down near new york or ther major
population center. theres no way to evacuatye all the residents
millions , general chaos will occur. people can be exposed to
radiation.

nuke plants shouldnt be built near population centers, or eartquake or
sunami zones, or a myriad of other locations for very good reasons...

coal plants can be built / upgraded to grow algea that reprocessed to
a liquid fuel like gasolne..

and lastly nuke power still has that waste problem no one has solved.

current nuke plants have waste core storage pools not in containment
overstuffed with far more hazardous waste than in working reactors
they are a perfect terrorist target.......

the nuke power industry should begin by designing a new nuke plant
model that can totally melt down but not leak at all.... *keeping all
radiation safely on site

so far they havent been able


How about this one?
