Nuclear power is extremely expensive and does not allow for peaking power. In the US company's are shutting them down early because operation costs are to high, let alone construction. So, on the surface it seems relatively useless for meeting our long term energy needs.
The only 'advantage' seems to be making money for companies that build or operate nuclear power plants. Thus, there are going to be plenty of experts backing them.
PS: While the carbon in natural gas produces CO2, the hydrogen atoms in it combine with Oxygen to form water making it a lower carbon source than Coal. If the goal is a rather arbitrary 32% lower emissions then natural gas can help reach that goal.
