I have looked into numbers and other facts around nuclear power and it is hard to not agree with this article. Nuclear power is the safest, cheapest to operate (capital costs are high) and cleanest (zero emissions) source of energy that can be deployed everywhere no matter the climate and that can generate power at full capacity day or night, wind or not, available today. Have that been deployed as effectively as in France we would have saved tens of millions of lives and tons of CO2.

@kravietz
Said that, fear fueled against nuclear power by fossil industry is so powerful that it alone killed thousands of people and probably will eventually lead to social collapse, war and destruction of life supporting environment. Countries will deploy gas, wind and solar mix that will initially reduce CO2 emissions but economic growth will quickly catch up any savings made.
