    Arguably nuclear power has a lesser environmental impact than hydro despite its good reputation as a renewable.

    Nuclear is just scary for the average person, even though the world has seen more dams breaking than nuclear reactor faults.

      More people have died for the equivalent amount of power put out for every power creator than nuclear. Nuclear is by far the less dangerous than anything else, however when something goes wrong with nuclear it gets news because of the massive damage.
