The issue with solar power on a planet is what you do during the nights (which are over 100 earth days long on Venus). The issue with nuclear is the danger of a launch failure with a craft full of fissile material - that would change if we could source the fuel from off earth but we're not at the stage of being able to do that yet

Again, good points. Also, I definitely wasn't taking the length of days into account!
