On August 3, 1492, Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, with three small ships, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Nina. On October 12, the expedition reached land, probably Watling Island in the Bahamas. Later that month, Columbus sighted Cuba, which he thought was mainland China, and in December the expedition landed on Hispaniola, which Columbus thought might be Japan. He established a small colony there with 39 of his men. The explorer returned to Spain with gold, spices, and “Indian” captives in March 1493 and was received with the highest honors by the Spanish court. He was the first European to explore the Americas since the Vikings set up colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland in the 10th century.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
If you are referring to the first major victory of the Patriots led by General George Washinton in the Revolutionary War, then we are talking about his victory in the Battle of Trenton on December 26, 1776.
This was a great victory that uplifted the morale of the troops and General George Washington, who was the leader of the Continental Army.
After this victory in Trenton, New Jersey, General Washington got another important win in Princeton, New Jersey. Both victories sent the clear message that the Continental Army had the elements and the strategy to be a fierce opponent to the British Army.

Let us see all the arguments one by one.
1) It is true that nuclear energy involves no greenhouse gas emissions. In the current state of the environment and world politics (recent Paris agreement on carbon emissions) it is a very important asset. Nuclear energy is much more mass efficient too and the waste after its use will be much smaller in scale than greenhouse emissions. This is the correct answer.
2) It is not easily accessible, at least in its current state. It demands great technological advancements and even greater awareness of technology when one tries to avoid accidents. Only a handful of countries have the infrastructure to have nuclear plants and for the rest of the world it is only a remote reality.
3) The prices are not controlled by an international commission; even if it were so, it is not that big of an advantage, since other traditional means of energy could enter this state of being controlled too.
4) Sadly, the health risks associated with nuclear energy are huge. Radioactivity is very hard to contain or to dispose of it once it is in the wild and the consequences are harsh for the organisms; it affects our DNA and it leads to mutations and increased cancer rates.
