If you're referring to me, not even close.
If GHGs are in fact a massive threat to the planet, nuclear is hands down a major component of the solution. We need base load, and hydro and nuclear are the best technologies we have, despite their drawbacks.
Even without considering GHGs, coal plants release more radiation per unit of generation in normal operation than has been released by nuclear plants in disasters. Nuclear is a clear improvement over coal from an environmental perspective.
