Nuclear could succeed if the plant size (and cost, and time to build) got smaller. I think it's at a disadvantage wrt wind/solar (see my other comment), but I guess the 'tiny reactor' designs have a sporting chance, assuming that they solve the time-to-first-kwh problem and piggyback on the same storage solutions as wind/solar. There are definitely cases where micro-nuclear might be good, the trick is to scale it past those use-cases.
