And much of the PR problem is related to waste. The main push towards alternative energy sources comes from people worried about the long term consequences of burning fossil fuels. These same people worry about the long term consequences of nuclear waste production, so nuclear sabotages itself on this front.

Exactly, bad PR.

Waste isn't actually much of a problem - it's just been portrayed as one.
