Five things against nuclear power -- and we'll leave meltdowns out:
1.) It is expensive.
2.) It has a long construction time, and with the need to move swiftly to energy sources free of greenhouse gases, that is critical.
3.) It requires harmful uranium mining and use, the extraction, refining, and reactor processes polluting the air and water.
4.) It produces dangerous waste that must be stored or buried for years, and sometimes centuries, before becoming safe.
5.) It cuts into the development of renewable energy, as nuclear projects are pushed by proponents as a means of reducing wind and solar.
