Not every reactor design requires enriching of uranium or only very limited amounts of enriching. CANDU reactors for example are heavy water reactors that use very little to no enriched uranium. If anything nuclear power is great for hydrogen production as it's consistent. Perhaps not great for poorer nations but for larger nations that cause the bulk of the world's emissions let's not discount it.

And considering how tumultuous a situation we are in we need as many answers possible to minimize the situation we are headed towards. The technology that comes out of this could also make a huge dent in agriculture and logistics as well. Cutting diesel with green hydrogen from solar and wind would be a boon for all heavy equipment, not just mining.

Overall when compared to all sources of GHG's, it's a whopping 1%. Emissions from producing food and deforestation account for far more.
