Nuclear is the answer to no problem we face currently. It’s expensive, slow to build new plants (decades). It’s also not flexible in the way it’s useable.

Solar + battery storage on the other hand is super fast and easy to build, costs virtually nothing and leaves no toxic waste which can’t be recycled.

Nuclear fuel is also mostly only available from Russia, which no one wants as a trade partner.



Solar has indeed become very cheap, battery storage less so. The price of storage is still a problem.
