The consequence of being nuclear free is continued use of fossil fuels. That contributes to greenhouse gases and other pollution (including radioactive release from fossil fuels) and continues/increases our dependence on imported oil. Barring some "miraculous" discovery, none of the alternative energy sources, such as wind, tidal, solar, and geothermal are ready in the short and mid terms to meet our needs. Not even fusion power is ready, and it won't be ready for another 50 to 100 years.
There is a general misunderstanding about the risks of nuclear power. When you objectively consider the big picture, nuclear power is actually safer and more environmentally friendly than fossil fuel based energy. Yes, there are issues and risks, but those issues and risks are greater with fossil fuels.

What is a Nuclear Free Zone?
See the following taken from wikipedia 'Nuclear free Zone' The meaning is what the local group decides, but it would certainly encompass being free of nuclear weapons. If a local authority which included a military nuclear weapons facility decided to ban it, it would introduce some farcical scenes, but this would probably not happen. Presumably the local group would not go so far as to ban medical use of radioisotopes. ''A nuclear-free zone is an area where nuclear weapons (see Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone) and/or nuclear power is banned. The specific ramifications of these depend on the locale in question. Many local authorities worldwide have declared themselves "nuclear-free". However, this label is largely symbolic, since most local authorities would be powerless to stop the construction of a nuclear plant if one was planned for the area. In the case of New Zealand its status as a nuclear-free zone is not symbolic but enshrined in the nation's legislation. New Zealand was the first Western-allied nation to legislate towards a nuclear free zone, effectively renouncing the nuclear deterrent.''
