Lets not celebrate nuclear energy. The french plants are in a bad state and nuclear energy is not clean. Why does everyone forget the nuclear waste it produces?
Nobody forgets it, but neither short-, nor long-term storage is nearly an unsolvable problem (as climate change is), and with rising supply and demand “waste” will soon become an economically viable raw resource for refining new fuel.

Let’s not be pedants about the problems of nuclear power at a time when the world’s climate is getting fucked ever faster due to CO2 emissions.

Solar and wind produce waste as well…
Nuclear produces a fairly small amount of waste, and it’s almost all caputered, which is great (the waste that isn’t captured is mining waste).
