Nuclear's great but even if we could magik up a few dozen reactors tomorrow, our distribution infrastructure still sucks (in the USA at least).
Wind and solar seem to address both of these problems. Very likely faster, cheaper, safer availability and goes a long way to decentralizing distribution and easing the "long wires everywhere" problem.
Nuclear probably still has some very compelling use cases in niche areas but on the whole, its time as "the power of the future" seems past.
