Similarly, coal and other fossil fuels only look cheap because currently nobody is paying for the climate change they cause.
We have to choose between evils. I think nuclear power is better, because nuclear waste is relatively easy to contain until we figure out what to do with it (for example burn it up in breeder reactors), whereas the world's climate is a system we don't fully understand and meddling with it can cause irreparable damage.
