The economics aren't there. Solar and wind are well below the costs of nuclear and still dropping fast. Costs of energy storage are dropping fast as well. I think the window has closed on nuclear for the time being. Thinking as an investor it's too risky and too expensive to produce the same fungible commodity as a solar cell + battery.
We're fast getting to the point where wind and solar is going to wipe out fossil fuel generation - for new construction - in some places it already has. Never mind nuclear, nuclear just isn't in the game anymore.
