Yes for sure it just doesn't happen because huge projects like this have to be aligned and coordinated on complete different scales.

Thats why the french build a reactor in UK.

Even the CDU/CSU political party in germany, who was in power for 16 years uninterupted wasn't doing it.

So whatever we wish or think would happen doesn't matter if the only ones investing in nuclear are techcompanies and as somone else stated, they do this primiarily for existing nuclear capacity.

But whats happening now is a renewable revolution. Batteries are very cheap now and get cheaper and easier to make and you need the manufactoring capacity for them anyway (cars, storage projects) that they will break up every other area like normal housing.

Especially because now it reached africa as a continent and asia. Its exploding.

And its very easy to just extend this potential. Many normal areas are still vacant.

A LOT of countries probably will either neve be able to afford nuclear or will not be allowed to have it anyway.
