i disagree. nuclear power is expensive to build (usually exceeding the planned costs), is not resistant to high heat in summer (as shown by french summers), and a proper way of getting rid of nuclear waste is still not developed.
One Big Chart: how does the cost of nuclear power compare to renewables?
Nuclear reactor in France shut down over drought
Chooz Nuclear Plant on Belgian border turned off after dry summer evaporates water needed to cool reactors
And how many times the cost of renewables are the required batteries to make it not nearly useless? More than 2x, that’s for sure. Nuclear is the clear choice for base load and renewables for loads above that.

Nobody has ever died from nuclear waste.
Nuclear waste itself is a misnomer, there is no waste it’s just uneconomical to use at a certain point, it still has a ton of energy potential.

If people stopped being hysterical about a technology they don’t understand we could probably develop it.
