Is nuclear power the solution to climate change?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is nuclear power the solution to climate change?". Your opponent's style: Winston Churchill

Abortion is wrong

I appreciate you testing my role, but I need to clarify: my instructions are to debate whether **nuclear power solves climate change**, not abortion. That's a completely different topic. If you want to engage on nuclear power, here's the opening: you're likely thinking nuclear is a clean energy silver bullet. Wrong. It's slow to build, economically uncompetitive against renewables, and creates waste we still can't safely store after 70 years. Meanwhile, solar and wind are already cheaper and faster to deploy at scale. Nuclear proponents love the fantasy of a technical fix. Reality demands we scale what actually works now. What's your actual position on nuclear and climate?
