Explain it to the people in Fukushima.

Explain to the greater ~2.1-4.21m deaths annually caused by pollution from fossil fuels https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_accidents

So what, just because CO2 is unhealthy now you prefer radiation that will poison the planet for millennia?

Try clean energy instead and don't use worse as an alternative for bad.

Assuming we will never find a way to safely dispose of spent fuel is quiet pessimistic imo. And regardless of how nuclear will be bad in the future, fossil fuels are bad now and alternative energies like wind and solar simply aren't ready to take over.

As far as I'm concerned, nuclear is clean comparatively.

I despise Nuclear power mainly due to its cost but it is very safe. The most dangerous form of electricity in deaths per 100,000 MW-h is rooftop solar.

Hint, it does not generate a large amount of power and if someone is injured, it is dangerous.

Are you kidding me?
