>It costs more to operate nukes than renewables
Citation needed.
Also most of the prohibitive costs surrounding nuclear are artificial - bureaucratic overhead vs. real costs governed by implementing the technology.

You need highly-skilled operators and security guards at all times. You need periodic deep inspection and refurbishment of operation and safety systems. Renewables incur no such expenses. I didn't even count disaster insurance, which is always provided free by taxpayers because no nuke could pay it and compete.
