Nuclear energy not viable, says German economist

A German green economist has said that nuclear energy is not viable.
He says, India will do better if it invests in solar and in wind power
than in nuclear energy.
Why he says so?
He cites the following reasons:
Nuclear energy is not green. It is inherently high-risk. If
something goes wrong then it can be catastrophic like
Chernobyl and Fukushima.
There is also the problem of nuclear proliferation. There is a very
thin wall between civil and military nuclear applications.
Increasing cost of plants is also a matter of concern. The cost is
growing. Nuclear power will not be able to survive without
government subsidies. The market cannot decide it.
