No, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal

I don't understand the question. Its worded poorly. I think we should invest in Nuclear Energy more than these other alternatives (hydro is actually very environmentally harmful it ruins farmland and water purity) and I do not recall saying otherwise. I dp ike wind power though (its not to efficient unfortunelty)

These methods of energy are proven to be cost effective and clean, as long as we invest in these alternatives slowly and steadily. there should be no major disruption in the economy.

Nuclear energy is much more efficient, faster to collect energy with. Wind & hydroelectric arent efficient enough. Whilst thorium and geothermal are efficient, not to the effect of nuclear energy (thorium being the exception).

The government would spend more money on the research to create new alternatives. Which we might not even use.

Nuclear energy provides lots of jobs and when done properly and waste is disposed of in a safe way it is beneficially and still environmentally safe.
