Oh yes, because the contaminants polluting the Earth from solar panel manufacture are so much better[1]. And let's totally ignore that coal power is actively spewing radioactive soot into our atmosphere and water and food right now at this very moment day in and day out[2]. Who cares about that, right?
Oh, but surely we can bury those byproducts deep in abandoned mines where they're relatively isolated and quarantined... oh... wait... hmm...
If you think that it is acceptable that a lot of people in current and future generations get sick and die, because of our myopic and irrational fear of a power source the harmful byproducts of which are trivial to contain, I can't help to consider you as evil.

This was not a discussion pro or con nuclear power. I don't consider you evil because you are pro nuclear power. I consider you evil because you so easily dismisses as acceptable human suffering and death.
Just imagine your own grief and rage if it was your own children who got sick and died because someone else in a distant past just didn't care about what they did to your local environment.
I consider it one of the greatest problem we as humanity has right now that so many seem to be incapable to sympathise with people just because they are distant (in time or space). A death of a child or a spouse hurts as much in the Middle East or in thousand years (most likely) as it does in the US in 2019.
