Nuclear energy NOT GREEN, not renewable,and wastes water, is slow, dangerous,expensive

In a recent Guardian article, Jacobin magazine’s founding editor Bhaskar
Sunkara declared that “If we want to fight the climate crisis, we mustembrace nuclear power.” He praised nuclear as clean and reliable and
suggested that opponents of nuclear power are either gripped by “paranoia … rooted in Cold War associations” or are relying on “outdated
information”.
I disagree entirely. Here are ten reasons why nuclear power is still no solution for climate change: Nuclear is dangerous; nuclear wastes water; nuclear is slow; nuclear is not green; nuclear is not renewable; nuclear is expensive; nuclear power means nuclear weapons; nuclear waste lasts forever; uranium mining is unsafe; nuclear means dispossession.
