I'm pro nuclear energy and think that people who are against are just unknowingly helping the fossil fuel industry.

Solar is WAY cheaper, quick to build and still decreasing in costs. Nuclear is expensive, slow to build and not appropriate for all terrains. Earthquake prone areas are bad as we can see from Fukushima nuclear plant. Nuclear also needs a source of water for cooling. It's good in niche cases but getting less and less economically justifiable compared to renewables.
