I think people who are exasperated with blind nuclear activism also don't want coal. Yours is a strange kind of whataboutism that isn't even relevant.
Issues with commissioning/decommissioning nuclear plants are unique in the magnitudes of sunk costs, both time and money, as well as the somehow still astonishing to many delays and hidden costs that somehow always catch us off guard and somehow are unique to each site and were somehow completely unpredictable that nonetheless somehow happen in every instance.

Also, frankly, this is such a topic that the capitalist view makes no sense - there is no buyer/seller for green-ness (though it can be introduced into the system through laws like carbon taxes), these are costs that must be coughed up by governments, period. I still believe that a nuclear baseline and a renewable variable energy production on top is the cleanest, greenest solution that actually further our case. There is simply no competition on the efficiency of nuclear.
