Best Answer

There seem to be three main strands to this: one that conventional energy sources are mainly in unsettled areas of the world and therefore possibly unsure in the future, two that nuclear power does not contribute to global warming, and three that many existing nuclear plants are quite old and will eventually have to be decommissioned, probably due to concerns about pressure vessel integrity, and therefore will need to be replaced by new plants unless more coal is to be used.
