When you do the calculations, any calcuations, there's no comparison.

Nuclear power yields more electricty per dollar of fuel injected.

It's a more efficient transfer of energy.

There's much, much, much less waste.

Treated properly, it's safer than any other means of generating that kind of power.

The whole myth about nuclear power being 'terrible' is the one way the French still lead the world. My hat's off to them for being brave enough to not believe the hype and let the science speak for itself. What's more, the French seem to contain the risks better than anybody else. Maybe there's something we should be learning from them.
