absolutely, i’ve done a lot of research on nuclear energy recently and i can safely say: we should’ve shut down the coal plants. but there are some real problems with long-term storage. so if we did leave them running, we still would need to get renewable either way.
Political problems. Real, political problems; see Harry Reid’s opposition to Yucca. Fossil fuel and renewable manufacturing also have serious waste problems that are on a far greater scale than nuclear.

Look into deep geothermal. We don’t need nuclear. There are other options
