> lifespan of nuclear projects, which is easily 2-3 times longer than solar and wind

Not sure it is a really solid argument. For wind maybe yes, but life expectancy of solar panels is about 40 years (warranty are 25-30 years but are pessimistic with margins). And with very low maintenance during the lifespan and easy replacement. Nuclear reactors have 60 years lifespan yes, but with massive continuous maintenance during the life cycle.
