How does solar energy compare to nuclear energy?

Yes
Nuclear power has the problem of disposing of radioactive waste. Nuclear energy

has the highly controversial challenge of producing nuclear waste, which must be disposed of
in some form, which entails long-term environmental risks. Solar energy does not suffer from
this challenge.

Solar energy is safer than nuclear energy. Nuclear energy has two major risks:
radioactive poisoning (particularly of nuclear energy plant workers) and of nuclear plant
meltdowns. Solar energy does not suffer from any safety issues.

No

Nuclear power is a more potent and efficient source of energy. A very small amount
of Uranium can produce a massive quantity of energy. This compares favorably to solar power,
in which a very large amount of sunlight is required to produce a much smaller quantity of
energy. Nuclear energy is more efficient in this way.

Nuclear energy does not require as much land as solar. Sun light is diffuse. This
means that solar panels must take up a large swath of territory in order to absorb all the
energy. Consuming so much land is problematic environmentally, agriculturally, and
economically.
