Nuclear energy requires very little material handling to build and run. There will always be a use case for dense energy. California can import boutique sun grown energy from the deserts just fine. Germany can import Danish wind power. But some nations that would directly have to trade limited arable land for power and/or who do not have wide enough land area (or good enough relations with their neighbors) or grid capacity to roll out solar or wind will likely find that dropping in nuclear to replace fossil fuels is the most cost effective solution. Pretending that everyone is going to magically go to solar and wind and that hydro and nuclear will not at a bare minimum continue to exist for specific niches is foolish.
