People tend to be afraid of nuclear energy because of the potential for disaster. Modern nuclear power plants are incredibly safe. With the amount of energy they produce, costs could potentially remain reasonably low.

Like coal, oil, and gas, control would be centralised. Very few countries have large reserves of uranium they could export. The generation of electricity would also be centralised because of the costs of building and running nuclear plants as well as the safety requirements. So many of the problems that I highlighted in this post would remain.
