Do you think nuclear energy can be an answer to the problems caused by the use of fossil fuels?

Nuclear energy HAS already been used to mitigate the problems associated with the use of fossil fuels. They have been offsetting the emissions from fossil fuels since the 60s. So it absolutely CAN be AN answer. Is it THE only answer? No. There are limitations in the way that nuclear power plants are designed. Because nuclear plants tends to run best at 100%, and are not very good at responding quickly to changes in power demand, other types of generation are typically used to supply power during peak demand times. Current designs are excellent for offsetting “baseload". The base load on a grid is the minimum level of demand on an over a span of time, for example, one week.

Can it further mitigate those issues? Yes, simply by constructing more nuclear plants to supply all of the baseload. This is not a cheap endeavour however. Initial costs of building nuclear plants is expensive, with the tradeoff being that they are cheaper to operate once built.
