In a decade, nuclear will be 3x more expensive per unit of energy than wind and solar.
Nuclear is only good up to the baseload of the grid. For the rest, wind, solar, and storage will be more economical while still being reliable.

Reply to comment by ledow in Meta has withdrawn its Galactica AI, only 3 days after its release, following intense criticism. Meta’s misstep—and its hubris—show once again that Big Tech has a blind spot about the severe limitations of large language models in AI. by lughnasadh

The human brain confabulates. It will make up a story to explain what's happening and then think that story is real.

All the money spent developing wind and solar should be looked at as an investment for humanity. Wind and solar prices dropped by so much for the entire world. Massive benefit for reducing global emissions.
Wind, solar, and batteries are already the best option for peaking load, but currently providing baseload energy this way is too expensive.
There will still be a huge baseload energy need so it would still make sense to add much more nuclear.
