Even in nuclear friendly political climates, nuclear is just too expensive and unwieldy due to huge unit sizes, it had its chance in history but is now a dead end due to low cost and rapid improvement in cost per megawatt in renewables.

Renewables aren't on demand electricity for the most of cases. Or on required scale to run as baseline for a power grid.

The grid need a way to absorb spikes in renewables production (solar in the day) but also fill in during lows.

Nuclear fission is by far the safest and cleanest way when compared to fossils. Its hardly 'unwieldy'.
