    Exactly, plus nuclear has zero carbon emissions.

    But it does have nuclear waste, and that has to be dealt with, with extraordinary care. I'm not saying that nuclear isn't a viable option, but it absolutely is not perfect. Fission does have its byproducts, and they are fairly dangerous. I refer you back to the article about the inadequate storage at the Bikini Atoll. Similar byproducts on a smaller scale are produced by nuclear reactions to produce energy.

    Granted, but nuclear power is A LOT safer than it's portrayed as being, usually by environmentalists. And while the waste can be an issue, it seems like Earth's lifeless moon would be a great repository for nuclear waste, and with the cost of space flight coming down thanks to the likes of SpaceX, I'm sure it would become economical as well.

    We can always blast the waste into space. Space needs more garbage

    I don't know about the moon. Send the waste to Venus. There's no chance of that planet becoming habitable ever. It's way too close to the sun to support life.

    Well at that point, might as well just send it straight on to the sun and have it be incinerated.
