      Hi @DarkDestroyer13 – The best thing about nuclear power is the “energy density”. It provides the most electricity for a given volume of fuel. Roughly speaking, one nuclear power station provides the same electricity as about 2000 wind turbines.

      They don’t produce any Carbon Dioxide as waste, so they don’t contribute to climate change as much as fossil fuel burning power stations do.
