I think you need to look at the research and data that have accumulated over the past 5 years. Nuclear seemed like a great investment 5 years ago, but there have been big changes.

Not only are solar/wind safer and cleaner, paired with modern battery storage they are now considerably cheaper and more effective at providing base load. And prices are still going down, while nuclear prices are if anything increasing.

Well,I think the picture is still much more in favor of nuclear than you seem to suggest although I'd agree renewables have gotten a lot better, though less so on their environmental impact (just having solar panels on land kills natural wildlife and destroys habitats). But I think we'd both agree people should look at the data and research this, b/c whatever you think nuclear still has tons of potential, it has already solved most of the problems wind/solar have, and the public has a false perception of it as a "boogie man" which has and will just lead to bad choices and misaligned public policy.

Any pointers ?
