Agree with your comments. There is a very vocal pro-nuclear majority that seems to think this is the best technology to deploy for power. The tough part of nuclear is that it's super expensive. And even though we've been building PWR reactors for 50 years, the cost to build new reactors isn't coming down. Over building renewables / batteries is more cost effective than building fission reactors.

Maybe fusion or SMRs can change that, but nuclear is just too expensive to build as a primary power source.
