For nuclear, as it is much denser energy-wise then anything else, you need to do the least amount of digging per MW capacity / let alone overall produced MWh Also one has to consider how much energy needs to be spent to get certain amount of energy generated, so called EROI. Nuclear is orders of magnitude better than other low-co2 options. For example for solar it is about 6, versus 75 for nuclear. [1] Given the investment energy is mostly in shape of fossil fuels, one, for example, cannot fuel carbon capture with anything other than nuclear, as in balance it will not reduce co2.
