It’s the cleanest form of energy. End of.

Nuclear Energy production functions at maximum efficiency 92% of the time as it doesn't rely on weather conditions etc.

It is the second safest form of energy. Does not create emissions. Materials used for the amount of energy created is so low. Very efficient. You can bury the waste for centuries.
Hydroelectricity dams cause massive damage to marine environment. Evidence for this is the many dams on the Danube river in Europe have cause many species of marine life to go endangered such as the beluga sturgeon.
Nuclear energy has been made alot safer than it was forty years ago in the USSR with chenoble. Now it is alot safer and has alot less risks. The last major nuclear accident was Fukushima which was roughly 25 years ago and nobody died. Therefore with that time difference the industry has been made much safer.

The energy payback period of solar/wind is years. The energy payback period of a nuclear giga plant is weeks. The more developed the civilisation the more energy it uses. The great leaps forward in human technology have come about by discovering sources of energy that are orders of magnitude more energy dense (wood to coal, coal to oil, oil to nuclear fission, then maybe fission to fusion). Renewables are very energy diffuse and are a backward step. Human fluorishing in the future is dependent on going big on nuclear.

Nuclear energy produces no harmful emissions into the atmosphere, and hires many home grown engineers.
Nuclear waste can be burred safely underground for millenniums.

Nuclear plants do create waste, though this is safely stored. There is a stigma around nuclear plants because of Chernobyl but this is the only big accident that ever happened with nuclear power. Nuclear power has claimed less lives than wind turbines and of course coal power.
@9M26QR93wks3W
Nuclear produce the least amount of waste and as long as its being handlede correctly, the risks are low. Also, I believe its the most dense energy source currently possible which makes it atractive as well.
@9LYQ3WF3wks3W
We will almost never run out of uranium and it gives us so much energy that taxes on electricity will go down
@9LYMBKR3wks3W
Every year, nuclear-generated electricity saves our atmosphere from more than 470 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions that would otherwise come from fossil fuels.
@9LX6M923wks3W
Barring Chernobyl, Fukushima and Three Miles, Nuclear energy can provide the best form of energy with the least amount of carbon emissions.

"Proponents of its use claim
that it is a very 'clean' form of energy since very little fuel is needed to generate a lot of energy,
and since no air pollution is produced, as in the burning of coal."

Nuclear is not only the cleanest form of energy, it is the 2nd safest.
