Environmental sciences are still a niche and the storage problem hasn't been solved yet. E.g. the infamous Asse II has empirically proven to be unsafe mostly because of water influx and the 126.000 containers (which are partially captured within slowly floating salt) now have to be retrieved which is going to cost billions No insurance company in the world is willing to insure a nuclear power plant and both risk and operation have been heavily subsidized since decades. In fact renewable sources are even cheaper: "The cost of generating solar power ranges from $36 to $44 per megawatt hour (MWh), the WNISR said, while onshore wind power comes in at $29–$56 per MWh. Nuclear energy costs between $112 and $189." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-energy-nuclearpower-idUSKBN1W909J https://www.reuters.com/article/us-energy-nuclearpower-idUSK...
