Nuclear power, because it is the most expensive form of generation, slows climate change mitigation by using up resources that could deliver more mitigation at the same cost. And, it is not just new nuclear that is the problem. The cost of refitting Diablo Canyon, for example, could completely replace it's generation with wind and solar and then some.
Indeed, taxayer funded stimulus since the nuclear industry does not carry adequate insurance to cover the cost of an accident. They get a huge subsidy from the government instead, leaving taxpayers liable.
Much like Vermont Yankee, Entergy is running Indian Point into the ground. The AG also forced new safety inspections an those showed Entergy had let a known problem slide past any other reactor known to date. http://www.lohud.com/story/new...

Notice everyone else is doing better except Entergy. They're safety culture is broken.
Not shill.
Even in China, nuclear is lagging and facing the habitual delays and cost overruns. http://cleantechnica.com/2016/...
Nuclear would have cost you more. http://ecowatch.com/2016/01/04...
Nuclear claims a niche for baseload, not backup, but even that is a myth. http://reneweconomy.com.au/201...
It's still more expensive, it is just that command economies can ignore market realities for a while until they topple.
Post a link.
It is breaking down all the time now. It's an albatross.
Show a link. Oh wait, only nuclear shill sites promote that crap.
No, that plant was crashing all the time too. Entergy is demonstrably reckless. http://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-...

The transmission project bring Quebec Hydro power under the Hudson River past Indian Point and right into Queens. Not a worry.

It is clean. Your complaint concerns tropical reservoirs.
Actually, Vermont Yankee is closed. Did leak a lot of radiation though.
Indian Point 3 probably isn't built to withstand the seismic risk now known for the site. https://www.sciencedaily.com/r...

No new dam, they are adding wind power.
Indian Point is breaking down all the time and NY still has power. It isn't needed.
This transmission project obsoletes Indian Point. http://www.chpexpress.com/abou...

Background https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
The shell model gets to magic numbers by potential approximation, but this method seems to be calculating a time dependent potential.
Feeding livestock chemically synthesized feed would also cut environmental impact. https://slashdot.org/journal/2...
This probably makes the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty easier to sign.
