>It costs more to operate nukes than renewables

Citation needed.

Also most of the prohibitive costs surrounding nuclear are artificial - bureaucratic overhead vs. real costs governed by implementing the technology.

Really, that is the hill you will die on? Nukes depend on running steam through monster turbines, which need frequent expensive maintenance. Fuel must be replaced periodically. You need highly-skilled operators and security guards at all times. You need periodic deep inspection and refurbishment of operation and safety systems.

Renewables incur no such expenses.

I didn't even count disaster insurance, which is always provided free by taxpayers because no nuke could pay it and compete.
