Yeah I think people don't appreciate how much the cost of renewables has gone down. If we were making a big push on fixing climate change two decodes ago, then nuclear would've been a good route to go. But that didn't happen, and looking at the cost of renewables now and the timelines needed for nuclear, it simply doesn't make sense anymore.

Though what Germany did with shutting down their nuclear plants was stupid. Keep existing nuclear going until all carbon emitting power generation is replaced, then consider replacing existing nuclear with renewables.
