Nuclear power is relatively safe when managed responsibly, and provides a consistant power output. When it comes to hydro electric , solar or wind; it is possible that drought, impaired sunlight, and days with low wind could lead to a day with zero energy or low energy output.

i’ve read tons on nuclear power an i totally wish we used more of it but a huge problem is how the public perceives it makes it much harder to put infostructure in place for it

because past mistakes on managing it causing disasters people have a kind of negative reaction when you suggest it, also the word “nuclear” is generally negative in peoples minds so its kinda hard to gain support for it
