Nuclear energy is actually a very good thing. The bad part about it is how to dispose of, or store the long-term radioactive waste it produces. Aside from that problem, it's about the cleanest form of energy known (wind and solar require large areas of land; so does most hydropower (for the lake formed behind the dam); just about everything else produces air pollution and/or greenhouse gases).

Nuclear energy is bad because if anything goes wrong while making it anything within 25 miles of the explosion is dead. Anyone within 50 miles is extremely deformed.
