> cheap solar and wind energy

You don't have a baseline energy with wind and solar, which are not on-demand. That's the big issue.

And nuclear _can_ be cheap if (and only if) funded by states, that can borrow zero-interest loans.

The only nuclear power plant under construction in the USA will cost nearly thirty billion dollars. That's not cheap no matter how low the interest rate.
