fossil fuels can have reduced emissions but still have them.
how many cares are there in the world?
bikllions. all releasing posins into the air.
there have been so few nuclear accidents. believe me, CO2 and CO have just as bad effect on the environment.

there are so many safe guards against this.theres such a small chance of accident.
i do environmental science as a degree. we look at this all the time.
oils slicks cause so much damage of the seas ecosystems, raised CO2 levels can cause plant species to die, SOx can cause acid rain and eroded both man made and natural habitat.

theres so many different factors. basically the world cannopt cope without both nuclear and fossil fuels.
one thing is for certain, fossil fuels will run out far before nuclear power ever will.
