I agree with Duffman
the good arguments are lost in the preaching

look, there is only one reason nukes are dead in US

Three Mile Island

(for the rest of the world the reason more likely Chernobyl)

why would a utility not build a nuke plant that is nearly fully funded by the government?
Risk and liability due to radioactivity
one accident and you would be out of business sued by everyone in a hundred mile radius

besides there is still no place for the waste


Back to renewables
to make up for fluctuations in production you have to build over capacity or storage
which makes these alternatives even more expensive
