Nuclear Energy may be somewhat cleaner than using immediate fossil fuels, but still requires fossil fuels to complete the process and is not a sustainable way to conserve energy and make a switch to renewable energy sources. We need to make bigger steps to use more sustainable energy sources that will help us more than hurt us in the long run.

The amount used by Nuclear plants is less than what's consumed by fossil fuel-based power generation. Once a nuclear plant is operational, it can run for many years, even decades, producing a huge amount of energy without burning any fossil fuels.
A good example is France, which generates about 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy and has one of the lowest carbon emissions in the world.
I do understand the concerns about the sustainability of nuclear energy, given the finite supply of uranium and the issue of nuclear waste disposal.
