I'm pro nuclear, but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. Renewable prices have been going down fast and are not stopping, and building a new plant is expensive. We should care about keeping the old ones operating as long as possible, but we've been hearing tales of new safer smaller easy to deploy nuclear plants designs for decades, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Nuclear is dispatchable, wind and solar isn't. There is still a chance for a future of nuclear but its more a political game at this point. We currently use natural gas for this flexibility, which is better than coal, but still a big polluter.
