Nuclear isn't apocalyptic, if that's what you're saying. It's caused far less harm than almost every other energy source (the only exception is large scale photovoltaic), including nuclear disasters, which we've learned a lot on how to prevent so will only become less common. They're already extraordinarily uncommon. Storage is also a solved problem and just needs implemented, and is pretty minor as is.

The apocalyptic option is to let dirty energy win the battle. They've been pumping tons of money into anti-nuclear movements to convince people it's dangerous. It isn't though. That's just what traditional energy companies want you to believe to protect their share of the market.
