Nuclear power produces around 11 percent of the world's energy needs, and produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel, without the pollution that you would get from burning fossil fuels. Overall, nuclear power plants are not known to produce any greenhouse gases, and the gas-like emission is water vapor.

The negative effect of nuclear power, however, is that it leaves behind a lot of toxic waste. The waste is radioactive and has many dangerous effects in its own way. Europe uses nuclear power to a large extent, amongst which France, a Super Power, is a major user. However, the United States has remained against the use of nuclear power, due to the Three Mile Island disaster. Despite all this, most scientists claim that nuclear energy is clean, pure and safe.

Greenhouse effect is a condition in which the green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides warm up the earth. These gases blanket the earth and keep it at least 33 degree Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be. If the gases are maintained at a safe level, then there is no danger. However, due to the current scenario in the world, people are contributing to increasing the greenhouse gases causing the earth to get heated further.
