It is an ideological thing with some people - it doesn’t matter what makes sense economically. You can find a comment on the same level as this one where someone is talking about lacking energy density. I value my time too high to start arguing against something I know is a bad faith argument and nothing will come of it.
Because nuclear has WAY more power generation than other renewables.
Solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro won't be able to keep up with electricity demand if we want to eliminate fossil fuels. The power density of nuclear just can't be matched.
How short sighted. In a couple decades the same countries will try to find ways to unpollute their ground and water from the radiation leaking from all the wastw they produce
