Because nuclear energy is the only viable means of producing large amounts of energy in the absence of fossil fuels. Yes, there are alternative sources of energy out there, but the technology is not ready for large scale operation. Nuclear is here now - Alternatives might be here in 30 to 50 years, or more. Yes, there are risks involved, but it is a matter of proper comparison of risk versus benefit and, when you objectively look at the big picture, without some of the fanaticism that we have on both sides of the coin, you discover that nuclear energy is better.
