It’s better to explain your reasoning a bit more. If you want expensive electricity prices, choose nuclear. If you want something which will only be built if the government takes all the risk, choose nuclear.
It’s a bit strange to go for nuclear while ignoring that any energy company will not build it on their own. Only if all the risk and possible cost overruns are on the government.
Renewables are way cheaper. And there are cheaper solutions to solve volatility of renewables.
For my own country, which seems intent on investing in nuclear energy like with small modular reactors, the plan makes no sense. We don’t have proven uranium or plutonium reserves, much less the capability to mine and refine it. Then there’s how to store nuclear waste indefinitely, even if nuclear disaster is not a problem. Nuclear is just a bad problem all around and it should be left in the past.
If nuclear fusion energy is solved, I might support it, but only under conditions of communism, otherwise the harvesting the power of the atom would only mean more labor exploitation and valorization under a capitalist mode of production.
