It's hard to put your finger on the true "main point." Energy, especially nuclear energy has always been fraught, politically and technically.
Your point is definitely poignant currently. Renewables are looking like a good bet atm.
A fundamental point is that nuclear energy has a lot of potential, ultimately. The debate will always be about investing in nuclear now. Long term, it's hard to imagine nuclear energy doesn't have a place.
In fact, it's surprising that nuclear energy hasn't been a bigger gamechanger. That's my last point. Nuclear energy has been, historically, somewhere between "eh" and disappointing. Applicable where natural gas is inconvenient.
The fact that most nuclear plants them are nuclear powered steam engines... something not right. Generally, nuclear is promising. Particularly, the options available to a region that needs power just aren't that attractive.
