Nuclear is definitely better.
Hell I would rather live 3 miles from a Nuclear power plant than 3 miles from a coal fired plant.

Natural gas deposits are under extreme pressure, and when they leak out of the ground they are something like 20 times worse a greenhouse gas then the CO2 released if the gas is captured and burned. Large gas bubbles are also the cause of lost boats and planes in certain areas.
