Some facts...
104 Active Nuclear Power plants in the US. produce 20% of the gross power.
(France generates 77% of its gross power from Nuclear).
Nuclear Power produces 66% less Co2 emissions than Natural Gas.
All the Nuclear waste from decades of US NUclear Power production at current levels would produce enough waste to fill ONE FOOTBALL field 20 feet high. Currently all the waste is stored on site at each facility.
______
Wind power produces the cheapest source of power - but is unreliable since the wind forces can be unpredictable and since there is no way to store excess power for use in low production times... the power companies must keep other power sources online to backup the wind sources.
...............
The ultimate solution would be a combined program of wind & nuclear.
Cheapest and cleanest.
