While it's true that nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases during operation, the nuclear industry fails to address issues such as radioactive waste disposal, mining and transportation of nuclear materials, and the risk of accidents. Also, considering the negative impacts on biodiversity and aquatic life from thermal pollution, the claim of nuclear power being completely environmentally friendly is misleading. It's important to consider the full lifecycle impacts of nuclear power before accepting these claims at face value.

This is true, but of course there are other reasons to object to nuclear power, like what to do with the spent fuel.
