Fine. There's wind turbines, geo thermal energy, big dams appear to be a proven tech too (albeit one with high impact on the environment). Even regular voltaic solar cells are on the move.

Anything other than fossil fuels is better than nuclear in my opinion. I don't think a technology that has the potential to make entire countries uninhabitable and has an as-of-yet unsolved waste problem is the way forward.
No, sticking nuclear waste in a vault deep under ground is not a solution! It's a workaround, at best.

Sure Chernobyl was bad but the risk of losing 5000 people in one bad event
That's still 5000 people more than are ever going to die because of an accident with a CSP plant. Yes, nuclear is less risky than fossil fuels on the whole - but that doesn't make it a good solution!
