Even under ideal conditions, nuclear is much more expensive than solar and wind. And when was the last time there were ideal conditions?

20-30 years ago nuclear was a quicker path towards decarbonization than solar was. So pushing solar over nuclear made sense for those hoping to delay decarbonization.

Now solar is a quicker way to decarbonize, so similar efforts are anti-solar, pro-nuclear.
