The language situation is similar here

Not to belittle your plight, but when OP says that

Finnish is an insanely difficult language...

he means it. Finnish isn't related to any other language on Earth, save distantly to Hungarian. At least Dutch is a germanic language and thus somewhat related to English.

It seems that very little of the stuff we were taught is practiced out there.

This, I supose, is a shock common to most people entering the workforce after advanced higher education. Patience ! It gets better with time. First, you'll dumb down as you assimilate your surroundings. But there will come a time when you realise that what you learnt was not in vain.

Twenty years ago the concept of blowing whistles simply did not exist. Now they're teaching it in uni ? That's a start. Carry the flame, don't get burned.

The question is the same in Europe and America.

Nuclear does not emit CO2, so it is a great way to produce decarbonated electricity, hence contributing to mitigate climate change.

It is not renewable, even if the worldwide deposits of uranium do not seem to be a problem for a forseable future. Then there is of course the question of processing and storing the radioactive wastes. This question is mostly rethorical, and absolutely dwarfed by the emergency of climate change. The other big question is whether to consider as acceptable the risk of an accident of the Fukushima scale.

So, there is no way to qualify nuclear as green, however, considering the situation we're in, green is too fuzzy a qualifier to guide the investments and social transformations we absolutely need to undertake.
