The anecdotal evidence while something you dont want to ignore is also not something you want to base objective analysis on. How many times have we heard stories of everything from psychic phenomenon to alien abduction. You cant completely cast them asside but facts are the real measure.
That being said if you want at the bad you can look at Chernobyl. Even the name should have lead to people to think a little harder. Chernobyl is the Ukranian word for wormwood according to what I have read. If your up on biblical prophesy it is practically forshadowing. But with the literally thousands of deaths it is the real horrorshow of what happens when nuclear power goes wrong. Luckily it is the extreme and mainly due to some realy stupid people. Overall nuclear power has been very safe.
Geothermal while legitimate power source has not been developed well and is also harder to have in some places than others. Worth exsploring but it is not there right now.
The real question though is would you advocate nuclear over coal burning?
