On the other hand, a lot of progress is being made on efficiency and cost reduction. I am not keen of solar for similar reasons to yours, but in ten years, it could be the most cost-efficient way to produce electricity.
Nuclear, on the other hand, has its own problems. It depends on a limited fuel source, has safety and waste issues, and has been used as an entry point making to nuclear weapons.
Nuclear may be the best option if those downsides really outweigh the cost savings. But it's preferable if they are reduced substantially. Starting to replace uranium with thorium would go a long way towards doing that.
